But while we want to envision the best possible future, why do some of us fail to make decisions that will truly make that a reality, while others succeed? Why do some of us choose steak over vegetables at dinner, waving off concerns of raising our cholesterol? Why do some splurge on luxury cars that we can't really afford, while others choose cheaper models and save more for the future? Why are so many of us so disconnected from our future selves?  In YOUR FUTURE SELF, Hal Hershfield reveals his groundbreaking research that shows that, in our minds, our future self often looks like a stranger. Many of us view the future as incredibly distant, making us more likely to opt for immediate gratification that disregards our health and wellbeing in the years to come. People who are able to connect with their future selves, however, are better able to balance living for today and planning for tomorrow. YOUR FUTURE SELF explains the science, describes the mental mistakes we make in thinking about the future, and gives us practical advice for imagining our best future so that we can make that a reality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743238627601,"sku":"NGR9780349432687","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50003616497937,"sku":"GOR013595671","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50922974576913,"sku":"GOR013355309","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52607937675537,"sku":"GOR014562548","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0349432686.jpg?v=1750696585"},{"product_id":"your-future-self-book-hal-hershfield-9780316421256","title":"Your Future Self","description":"\u003cb\u003eSet 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 \u003ci\u003eFour Thousand Weeks\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e We've all had the desire to travel through time and see what our lives will be like later in life.
