💥New paper alert!💥 A large-scale study of over 6,000 Americans confirms that feeling connected to your future self is linked to better saving habits and financial well-being. These findings hold true across various demographics, reinforcing earlier research on future self-continuity.

Speaking of future thinking, I really enjoyed reading (listening to) "Your Future Self" by @hal-hershfield.bsky.social. I talk about present vs. future self in my cogpsy class, and this book motivated me to give students a "write to your future self" assignment (theself.club/future-self/).
