TED Talks Daily Book Club: Essential questions to ask your future self | Meg Jay (re-release)

This episode of TED Talks Daily features a conversation between TED curator Whitney Pennington Rodgers and clinical psychologist Meg Jay, focusing on the concept of the "empathy gap" and its impact on how we relate to our future selves. Meg Jay discusses how this gap can hinder us from making choices that benefit our long-term well-being, particularly in our 20s, and suggests strategies to bridge this divide by visualizing and connecting with our future selves. She encourages listeners to ask themselves tough questions about their goals, relationships, and overall happiness to ensure they are living in alignment with their aspirations. The conversation extends to how this concept applies to individuals of all ages and emphasizes the importance of ongoing self-reflection and accountability.
