The Psychology of Your Future Self
Daniel Gilbert gave a TED talk called the psychology of your future self. He asks people, do you think you're going to be the same person in ten years from now? And most people say yes. We don't spend very much time adequately thinking about who our future self will be. So as a result we make a lot of decisions here and now assuming that the decisions are future self would be happy about such as getting a tattoo.
