The Benefits of Getting to Know Your Future Self
Hal Hershfield, a friend of the podcast, recently had an adaptation from his book, Your Future Self: How to Make Tomorrow Better Today”, published in the WSJ.
We love this concept of “getting to know your future self” taught by Hal Hershfield, who studies the psychology of long-term decision-making, because it’s a lot like our philosophy of taking the long view.
One of Hershfield’s most well-known discoveries suggests that when people are confronted with their “future selves,” they experience an emotional connection that can influence long-term financial and ethical decision-making.
