Should we eat, drink and be merry or make sacrifices now to benefit our future selves? In his guide to thinking better, Professor Steven Pinker explores what's called 'future discounting' in decision making.
He's joined by...
Dr Maria Kournikova, psychologist, poker champion and author of ‘The Biggest Bluff; How I learned to pay attention, master myself and win’ and Bina Venkataraman, an editor at The Boston Globe, former senior advisor in the Obama administration, and the author of ‘The Optimists’ Telescope; Thinking ahead in a reckless age.’
