Notable Quotes:

“People who have a stronger sense of connection to their future selves end up doing more of the stuff that they say they want to do, saving more, for instance, reporting higher levels of subjective health.”

“If an organization has a strong collective identity and sees itself almost as a person would over time, then you might imagine if the employee is there and the decision makers there, I buy into that identity, and they feel strongly about where the organization will go in the future, then I could imagine that level of connection will be an important input into these risk decisions, ethical decisions.”

“The essential self. The one that is continuous over time that others see as these moral traits that you’re talking about…I think that relates to the ethics topic of integrity integration and bringing those disparate parts in the resonance.”

“Our future selves evoke similar activity patterns as thoughts about others. In the brain, our future selves look like other people. See less -
