Why this book is different
Unlike party guides or lifestyle books, What Is New Year?:
- Uses visual storytelling and infographics

- Connects time, psychology, and culture
- Makes abstract concepts about time concrete and human
- Shows that New Year is a universal human invention
It’s not a celebration guide. It’s a cultural and psychological decoder of time.
