What Didn't Go as Planned: Letting Go of the Year's Disappointments and Moving Forward With Peace and Purpose

By: Lake, William P.

Not every year goes according to plan.
The job didn't come through. The relationship didn't become what you hoped. The money never arrived the way you expected. And somewhere along the way, you stopped waiting for an apology from the year itself and started wondering if something was wrong with you.

What Didn't Go As Planned won't rush you toward forced gratitude or hand you a tidy lesson before you're ready for one. Instead, it walks you through twelve honest chapters, each one facing a different way a year can quietly fall short: the career, the relationship, the family life you imagined, the money, the body, the person you thought you'd become.

Along the way, you'll find permission to grieve what didn't happen, a clear-eyed look at what the year gave you instead, and a way to carry what's still unresolved into the next chapter of your life without demanding it resolve on your schedule.
This is a book for anyone closing out a hard year and looking for something more honest than a resolution list. Not a reason to pretend it didn't hurt. A way to actually put it down.
