TED: The psychology of your future self | Dan Gilbert

The video explores how decisions made in youth often lead to regret in later life due to a misconception about the stability of personal values, personality, and preferences. Research shows that people underestimate how much they will change over a decade, a phenomenon called the 'end of history illusion.' This illusion affects decision-making, leading individuals to overvalue current preferences. The video emphasizes that change is constant, and understanding this can improve future decision-making.
