Dear Friend,
With the new year upon us, perhaps you’re mulling over a list of resolutions: promises you intend to keep and things you hope to accomplish. Yet, as anyone who has made such a list knows, however well intended, resolutions often end up falling by the wayside as the weeks and months go by.
But there is one, as the Journal’s guest editorial by Thomas Mitchinson suggests, that you, along with every reader of this magazine, hopefully have at the top of your list and are endeavoring to keep: “Be a better healer” (see “Our resolution to be better healers,” p. 52). Why? Because it’s natural for those who have hearts to want to relieve the world’s suffering—to heal more consistently, more confidently, more immediately.
