Achieve Optimal Health and Wealth in 2023 With These WSJ Challenges

The Wall Street Journal has launched five email challenges over the past few years to help readers improve in various areas of their lives, from fitness to money management. Each challenge begins when the reader signs up, and continues with one email per week for five or six weeks, containing exercises and tips.

We've updated and refreshed our short courses for 2023, so if you're looking for a project or challenge to kick off the new year, now's your chance. We don't recommend doing all four challenges at once, but we do recommend taking advantage of the fresh-start energy the new year brings and making plans for joy in January.

To sign up, simply follow the steps below.
