What if our choices are guided less by logic, and more by the ghosts of feelings we haven’t even felt yet?

This meetup explores our brains ability to predict future emotions and how this ability is directly linked to knowing what we want. We will dive into a key research paper that asked: what happens when we intervene on these emotional predictions?

Join us for a curious conversation where we will:

  • Dive into the research: I will explain what the paper suggests is the surprising finding that asking people about future regret can change their health behaviors, from exercise to medical decisions.
  • Connect the ideas: We will go into discussion about how the findings in the paper link to knowing what you want. Also we will explore how to cultivate and what clouds this sense.

No background needed just bring an interest in the forces that guide our lives.
