Prepare to challenge the status quo, redefine your relationship with time, and forge a path that leads you closer to the resplendent reality you envision for yourself. The time has come to bridge the gap between who we are and who we strive to be. Hershfield is the author of the new book, Your Future Self: How to Make Tomorrow Better Today.
