Michael Kavanett: In your book, you cite the Seinfeld routine where he talks about the morning guy and night guy. He says we have a hard time fully stepping into the shoes of our tomorrow morning self. You can find all of his insights on our next big idea app available wherever fine apps are downloaded.

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.
