Dear Better Human,
New Yearās Resolutions are garbage.
They are a way for people to lie to themselves that this year will be different.
Years are not different. They donāt even exist! The year is a human invention. There is no January 1st in nature. Itās just an idea in our minds.
If you were going to do the thing, youād already be doing it.
Goals are different.
Goals are something we should always be striving for because it helps add meaning to life. The paradox here is, itās not the goal itself, but the chasing of the goal that brings meaning. Most goals, once reached, are pretty anti-climatic. So if you put too much hope into how youāll feel once you reach that goal, youāll probably be let down.
The key is to find goals that you enjoy going after. Thatās how you craft your life into an infinite game (games you keep playing forever) rather than a bunch of small finite games (games you play to an end).
Set goals. Track your progress on them. And fall in love with the process. Thatās how you win at life and actually get shit done.
A useful resource for goal setting:
Hereās my buddy Anthony Gustinās Notion template he uses to set yearly goals. I made my own version of this for 2022. You can duplicate this for free in Notion and use it yourself. Also, hereās his yearly review process. This kind of thing is not for meā¦ I just like living more in the future than in the past. But for some, this is a solid practice.

š The Most delicious way to consume functional mushrooms Iāve ever seen š¤Æ
The guys over at shruum really impressed me.
I've been in the food and supplement space for 7 years now, and I've never seen (or tasted) something like their new Shruum product.
It's like a high-end balsamic vinegar, mildly sweet, non-glycemic, and then packed with 1000+ mg of functional mushrooms per serving. What's not to love about that?
And I loved the idea before I tasted it.Ā
Then I got a sample and wowzersā¦. I now don't sit down to a meal without it. And my recent reactivation of Chipotle as a way to get clean, fast, cheap protein is taken to an entirely new level entirely with a quick drizzle of Shruum.Ā
Since they just launched, they have offered the Better Human audience special pricing and free shipping on their King and Queen Mushroom set.
Chaga is known as the KING of mushrooms and Reishi the QUEEN.
Through this special extraction process, you get unique flavor profiles that highlight the uniqueness of each mushroom.
Reishi: notes of apricot, honeysuckle, marmaladeĀ
Chaga: notes of mission fig, vanilla, brown sugar
Finally, their sourcing is going to change the industry. Most mushrooms are grown in China. Some are good; many are not so good. But people want US-grown mushrooms, and finally, after years of working towards this goal, US supply chains are starting to compete.
Shruum is a product built on that newly createdāand growingāsupply chain.Ā
The Reishi mushrooms are grown on fallen maple and oak logs using sustainable agricultural forestry practices in the USA.
Our Chaga is exclusively foraged in the pristine boreal forest of Alaska's interior, north of Mount Denali USA, in partnership with the native Inuit.
They might sell out since they have a very limited supply on hand.Ā
