Do you make New Year resolutions? Almost all of us do, because we want to achieve positive personal change and become better people. But did you know that the vast majority of resolutions are repeated five years in a row? Have you ever dieted? If diets work, why do we need so many - and new ones all the time? The answer lies in our constant belief that the latest approach will be the one that finally works. In other words, we may be suffering from what psychologists now term ‘False Hope Syndrome’.
