Shankar Vendantam (Hidden Brain): You don't actually know what your future self wants

https://www.ted.com/talks/shankar_vedantam_you_don_t_actually_know_what_your_future_self_wants

Excellent TED presentation. I'd post in the video forum but my prior attempts don't work there.

All about understanding ourselves as we age and understanding that we (usually) won't know who we'll be in 10 or 20 or 30 years.

When a therapist or whoever asks me where do I want to be in x amount of time.
