If you’re into New Year’s resolutions, then let a conflict resolution expert—and Nobel Prize winner—help you. I’m not referring to me, though I wish I were (especially the Nobel part). Thomas Schelling, winner of the 2005 prize in economic science for “having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis,” has some advice that could help you keep your resolutions. In A Nobel Winner Can Help You Keep Your Resolutions, Schelling proposes using some of his prize-winning ideas to manage the internal conflict we experience when we try to change behavior. As noted in the article, “New Year’s resolutions help people cope with some of the most difficult conflicts human beings face.”
