Just arrived!! A new book 'Memory in Science for Society' - I wrote a chapter w/ Dan Schacter reviewing how people make decisions about the future. We cover intertemporal choice, focusing on applied attempts to reduce delay discounting and increase patience.

It's 1am (thanks timezones) and I just successfully defended my thesis with no revisions! An unreal end to an unreal experience. I'm so thankful to so many people. This truly was a team effort, and I was blessed with the greatest team of all.

I recently reviewed the book "The Invention of Tomorrow: A Natural History of Foresight" by cognitive scientists Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan Redshaw, and Adam Bulley for @iftf's Foresight Matters publication. medium.com/foresight-matt… Subscribe here: iftf.org/newsletters/

@Adamdbulley @B_I_Tweets @BITAusNZ Incredible news! Huge congratulations and best of luck!

Feeling a huge amount of gratitude for many, many people who helped me out as I was exploring this next move (especially in these past few months), as well as for all my colleagues and collaborators over the years - far too many wonderful people to name - for the support. 🙏

Prospect Theory's famous “S-shaped” value function is a cornerstone of behavioural economics. Surprisingly, more than 40 years after its inception, there seem to be a lot of remaining puzzles about it. Or... perhaps not anymore. A 🧵that may change your view on Prospect Theory.

FUTURE YOU, the latest edition of @TEDRadioHour on @NPR, explores the challenges of imagining ourselves, and the societies we live in, beyond the here and now – and why It matters. Featuring @binajv @hiddenbrain @HalHershfield @romankrznaric npr.org/programs/ted-r…

@rifish @Shepherd_books Great recommendations - and thank you for the nod to The Invention of Tomorrow!!

Please add to this thread if you have other books you'd recommend! And thanks to @shepherd_books for asking me to compile a list inspired by The Long View. Do have a look at their site - they also have a shelf of 'the best books about time': shepherd.com/bookshelf/time

For @Shepherd_books, I compiled a reading list of books I'd recommend for taking a longer view of time, complementing my own, The Long View. I explain here why I personally found them such excellent reads! shepherd.com/best-books/to-…

Second, The Invention of Tomorrow: A Natural History of Foresight, by Thomas Suddendorf, Jonathan Redshaw & @Adamdbulley (also Suddendorf's earlier book The Gap is good too). A terrific intro to foresight and mental time travel hachettebookgroup.com/titles/thomas-…

Delighted to have an adaptation of The Long View in The Observer today! It draws on a number of themes from the book, particularly the way that crisis can shorten our sense of time theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

🎉 Book Cover Reveal! 🎉 I am so excited that I can officially unveil the book covers for my new book “A Theory of Everyone”. 📚 I'll be talking a lot more about the book between now and September. All retweets, likes, and other help getting the book out to your networks would mean a lot to me!
