This is the read to lead podcast, episode 491.

We want to think what I'm going through right now, I think I recognize on some level

of something other people may have gone through, but I'm a bundle of unique experiences, I'm different.

And so to say, well, I'm going to sort of rely on a collective out there to predict my outcomes,

well, I may find a fence at that because it suggests that I'm just like everybody else.

We've all had the desire to travel through time and see what our lives will be like later in life.

But while we want the best possible future for ourselves, we often fail to make decisions

that would truly make that version of the future a reality. Hi, I'm Jeff Brown. And this is the

Read to Lead podcast, the podcast's dedicated to your personal and professional growth. In a way, you might say this podcast exists

in large part to help you plan for the best future you possible. Each week, we sit down with

a successful and inspiring author and talk about his or her latest book and their unique insights

on a number of different topics, things like leadership, business, sales, marketing,

jobs and career, entrepreneurship, and lots more. And our featured book today has a blurb on

the front cover by Daniel Pink, who says the rare book that will change whom you see in the mirror.

The book is called Your Future Self, How to Make Tomorrow Better Today. And it's written by Hal Herschfield.

I'll be asking Hal questions like, are we the same over time? Is future me really me?

Ways we can make ourselves feel closer to the future version of us and much, much more.

I want to invite you to join the Read to Lead community online, where several hundred

people right now are interacting with one another every single day to discuss the very kinds

of things we talk about on this show each and every week.

Books, of course, personal and professional development, leadership, business, etc.

And I've made it possible for you to join. Make sure you like it
