**Silence your inner cynic before proceeding**

At the root of the contrived resolution craze there is a noble seed-- An earnest desire to better ourselves.

With us at the helm once again is my friend Erick Godsey, a self-styled psychology extraordinaire and self-spelunking mystic who hangs out at the psychic intersection of Carl Jung and Robert Anton Wilson.
