Experience Self vs. Memory Self (Daniel Kahneman) Posted on October 31, 2018 by Steve Mays Being happy “in” you life, vs. being happy “about” your life We don’t choose between experiences, we choose between memories of experiences We don’t think of the future as experience, we think of the future as anticipated memories Why do we give so much weight to memories, relative to the weight we give experiences? We do not attend to the same things when we think about life and when we actually live.
