This isn't a book about BECOMING it's about BEING: noted psychologist
Dr. Benjamin Hardy shows how to imagine the person you want to be, then
BE that person now. When you do this, your imagined FUTURE directs your
behavior, rather than your past.
Who is your Future-Self?
That question may seem trite. But it's literally the answer to all of
your life's questions. It's the answer to what you're going to do today.
It's the answer to how motivated you are, and how you feel about
yourself. It's the answer to whether you'll distract yourself on social
media for hours, whether you'll eat junk food, and what time you get up
in the morning.
Your imagined Future-Self is the driver of your current reality. It is
up to you to develop the ability to imagine better and more expansive
visions of your Future-Self.
Your current view of your Future-Self is very limited. If you seek
learning, growth, and new experiences, you'll be able to imagine a
different and better Future-Self than you currently can.
It's not only useful to see your Future-Self as a different person from
who you are today, but it is also completely accurate. Your Future-Self
will not be the same person you are today. They will see the world
differently. They'll have had experiences, challenges, and growth you
currently don't have. They'll have different goals and priorities.
They'll have different habits. They'll also be in a different world--a
world with different cultural values, different technologies, and
different challenges.
