Set Your Future Self Up for Success
The Art of Manliness
The End of History Illusion
The end of history illusion is the tendency to believe that one has reached their fully developed self and will not change much in the future./nWe often fail to recognize that we will continue to change and evolve in the future, just as we have in the past./nWe tend to resist the idea that we are constantly changing because it suggests that we are more malleable than we prefer to believe./nMaking decisions and plans based on the assumption that our future selves will be the same as our present selves can limit our ability to change and adapt./nCareer planning is an example where we may lock ourselves into a path based on our current desires, without considering how our future selves may change their preferences./nWe may take on projects or commitments based on our initial enthusiasm, only to find that our motivation and energy wane over time, making it difficult to see them through to completion./nIn the startup world, there is a tendency to overcommit and underestimate the future challenges because early stages are often the most exciting and energizing.
