Dan Gilbert: The Psychology of Your Future Self


This is a relatively short TED Talk, but it's an interesting one.

Dan Gilbert: The psychology of your future self



"Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they're finished." Dan Gilbert shares recent research on a phenomenon he calls the "end of history illusion," where we somehow imagine that the person we are right now is the person we'll be for the rest of time. Hint: that's not the case.
