You Don’t Actually Know What Your Future Self Wants | Shankar Vedantam | TED
“You are constantly becoming a new person,“ says journalist Shankar Vendantam. In a talk full of beautiful storytelling, he explains the profound impact of something he calls the “illusion of continuity“ -- the belief that our future selves will share the same views, perspectives and hopes as our current selves -- and shows how we can more proactively craft the people we are to become.
