Скачать или смотреть IFTF Foresight Talk: Your Future Self—How to Make Tomorrow Better Today with Hal Hershfield

We've all had the desire to travel through time and see what our lives will be like later in life. While we want the best possible future for ourselves, we often fail to make decisions that would truly make that a reality. Why do we choose steak over vegetables at dinner, waving off concerns about high cholesterol? Why do we splurge on luxury cars rather than save for retirement? Why can’t we stick to our exercise programs? Why are so many of us so disconnected from our future selves?
On June 8 "Your Future Self" author Hal Hershfield spoke with Jane McGonigal, IFTF Director of Game Research & Development, about the science on how the mind views our future selves as strangers and what that means for our health and wellbeing. Hal described the mental mistakes we make in thinking about the future and give us practical advice for imagining our best future so that we can make that a reality. Watch and learn how people who are able to connect with their future selves are better able to balance living for today and planning for tomorrow.
