There were many things we wanted to name this pod:

1. One day you too will be slapped

2. New Year's Resolutions: Don't forget that you die!

3. Go Get Slapped, Tear Up a Little Bit, Cry

The list goes on. In this episode, Yvie takes you through the surprisingly hilarious history of the origins of New Year's Resolutions, and the data behind why people typically don't keep their promises each year. You'll laugh, you'll cry (probably from being slapped), and you may be moved to form better habits.
