REFLECTION OF SELF:
This week, I recorded my thoughts on this quote by David Epstein (Source: Range):
Psychologist Dan Gilbert called it the “end of history illusion.” From teenagers to senior citizens, we recognize that our desires and motivations sure changed a lot in the past (see: your old hairstyle), but believe they will not change much in the future. In Gilbert’s terms, we are works in progress claiming to be finished.
You can find my full thoughts above on the illusion of desire by pressing play.

QUOTE TO LEAVE YOU INSPIRED:
Matt Ridley on two sides of socialness:
“We may be among the most collaborative social creatures on the planet, but we are also the most belligerent. This is the dark side of groupishness in human beings. But there is a bright side, too. Its name is trade.”
