Welcome. I'm Kevin Miller. This is a podcast for your personal evolution. In this episode,

how to identify and connect with your future self and open up your personal transformation.

In your younger years, you may have thought about your future self. I always wanted to be 30,

and I would envision what it would

look and feel like. I ultimately became 30. So there I was. But I didn't arrive and become the

ultimate Kevin at that point. Five years past, I became 35 and thought about how far I had become

since back there at 30.

And, of course, this continues to happen.

As of this recording, I just turned 55.

Five years from now, I'll be 60, and I expect I'll be amazed at how much I've grown and evolved past the 55-year-old I am now.

so many times. Well, here I give focus to Ben's book, Be Your Future Self Now, the science

of intentional transformation. It was through Ben, and here in this book

that I first heard the concept that I've continued to now hear about. It's called the end of

history illusion, where as I talked about leading off here, we tend to look back with amazement

how far we've evolved from who we used to be from our past.

But we feel like who we are now, though, is who we are. And Ben takes us through his research to see

how we can open up our personal transformation. If we'll engage with the future self, we are

going to become and not just conceive of who we are today. Ben Hardy, he's an organizational psychologist at the beginning, but become so much more now,
