In many ways we may think of our future selves as if they're other people entirely. Hal Hirschfield has written a new book called Your Future Self, How to Make Tomorrow Better Today. At least at the level of the brain, you don't really believe that future you is you at all.
Can vividly imagining your future self help you make better decisions? Hal Hershfield thinks so, and he’s got the research to prove it. Hal — who teaches at UCLA and has been called a “pioneering psychologist” by none other than our curator Adam Grant — is out with a new book called “Your Future Self: How to Make Tomorrow Better Today,” and he is here all week to help Michael, you, and future you achieve success.
