Set your future self up for success with the “fascinating, profound, and immediately practical guide to shaping your life to come, while living more richly in the moment."―Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks We've all had the desire to travel through time and see what our lives will be like later in life. But while we want the best possible future for ourselves, we often fail to make decisions that would truly make that version of the future 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...
Maak verbinding met je toekomstige zelf zodat je leven later én nu beter wordt We willen allemaal een geweldige toekomst. Waarom lukt het ons dan toch zo vaak niet om de beste keuzes voor de lange termijn te maken, zoals gezond eten, regelmatig sporten en voldoende sparen? In Je toekomst is nu deelt psycholoog en gedragswetenschapper Hal Hershfield zijn baanbrekende onderzoek waaruit blijkt dat we vaak geneigd zijn om te kiezen voor onmiddellijke bevrediging van onze behoeftes, ook al gaat dat ten koste van onze gezondheid en ons welzijn op de lange termijn. Hershfield helpt je om te ontdekken welke mentale fouten je vaak maakt als je over de toekomst denkt, en laat zien hoe je een verbinding kunt maken met je toekomstige zelf, zodat je leven later én nu beter wordt.

Imagine que atravessa um portal que lhe dá acesso ao seu futuro. Vê se a si próprio daqui a vinte anos numa versão bem-sucedida e gosta do que vê.

Cerca de 40 por cento das pessoas...
Quante volte ci capita di sognare - non solo da bambini - di costruire una macchina del tempo per scoprire se un giorno diventeremo davvero la persona che vogliamo essere? Pura fantascienza, lo sappiamo. E seppelliamo l'idea, presi dal presente frenetico che conosciamo bene. Puntualmente riempiamo la nostra vita di mille impegni per poi accorgerci, con ansia, che non siamo in grado di portarli a termine. Per consolarci cerchiamo gratificazioni istantanee, come se le conseguenze non ci riguardassero. Siamo talmente concentrati sull'oggi che il futuro arriva di colpo e ci coglie impreparati. E ci ritroviamo esausti e insoddisfatti, se non addirittura travolti dagli eventi. Cosa direbbe di noi ...
