“If health fails, teaching, knowledge, life itself, all comes to naught. So have nothing to do with alcohol and avoid all things against which the conscience speaks.”
-Ras Tafari
100 Days of Progress
This chapter exists because I believe many Americans can enjoy life more through systematically building their well-being. In my language teaching I always emphasize two steps; 1) Define your goals and the elements of making progress that go into reaching them. And, 2) Figure out a program that will allow you to make progress every day. Then, carry out this program for 100 days. When you make progress every day, there is no pressure to rush.
