Recommendation
How close do you feel to the future you? According to social scientist Daphna Oyserman, your answer might be critical to your motivation. While most animals focus on the present, early humans developed future-oriented thinking – a mode of consciousness that helps you defy hardship – as you make your way toward an imagined future. Balancing these two modes of thinking can be a struggle. getAbstract recommends this summary to people who want to understand how an orientation toward the future can influence their behavior in the here and now.
