Episode notes
Decision-making is influenced by two distinct selves: the experiencing self and the remembering self. The experiencing self lives in the moment and engages with current experiences, while the remembering self reflects on those experiences and informs future choices. This suggests that our perceptions of happiness or dissatisfaction stem not from the actual experiences we have, but rather from our memories of those experiences, which only capture a small part of what truly occurred. Therefore, the outcomes of our choices are largely shaped by how we remember past experiences rather than the experiences themselves.
