Just arrived!! A new book 'Memory in Science for Society' - I wrote a chapter w/ Dan Schacter reviewing how people make decisions about the future. We cover intertemporal choice, focusing on applied attempts to reduce delay discounting and increase patience.

Feeling a huge amount of gratitude for many, many people who helped me out as I was exploring this next move (especially in these past few months), as well as for all my colleagues and collaborators over the years - far too many wonderful people to name - for the support. 🙏

Prospect Theory's famous “S-shaped” value function is a cornerstone of behavioural economics. Surprisingly, more than 40 years after its inception, there seem to be a lot of remaining puzzles about it. Or... perhaps not anymore. A 🧵that may change your view on Prospect Theory.

Second, The Invention of Tomorrow: A Natural History of Foresight, by Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan Redshaw & @Adamdbulley (also Suddendorf's earlier book The Gap is good too). A terrific intro to foresight and mental time travel hachettebookgroup.com/titles…

For @Shepherd_books, I compiled a reading list of books I'd recommend for taking a longer view of time, complementing my own, The Long View. I explain here why I personally found them such excellent reads! shepherd.com/best-books/to-t…

The best books to take a longer view of time

Richard Fisher wrote The Long View. These are their favorite books on to take a longer view of time.

Delighted to have an adaptation of The Long View in The Observer today! It draws on a number of themes from the book, particularly the way that crisis can shorten our sense of time theguardian.com/lifeandstyle…

Time-warped: how modern life shortens our perspectives

Many of us feel the anxiety of living in a time of ‘polycrisis’, but taking a long view will help you cope

Not another bias! Behavioural economics has excelled in identifying biases. We have now reached the point of diminishing returns in this quest. What lies ahead in behavioural sciences? Making sense of the reasons we behave the way we do. 🧵

One of my favorite parts of working on my book was gaining a deeper understanding of #procrastination, viewed through the lens of present self - future self tradeoffs. Here, in @behscientist, is an excerpt from this section. behavioralscientist.org/the-…

The Time Traveling Mistake We Make When We Procrastinate - By Hal Hershfield - Behavioral Scientist

In thinking about the future in a merely surface level way, we end up traveling to a different future than the one we meant to go to.

Why should we plan for the future when the present (and the future) is marked by so much uncertainty? It's a question I grappled with as I finished writing my book, and it's the focus of this excerpt in Big Think. bigthink.com/thinking/key-fe…

The key to feeling happier about the future: Mental time travel

We will have a better shot at improving our lives once we come to understand, know, and love the people we will one day become.
