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 so disconnected from our future selves?
