Why do people and institutions often prioritize short-term gains over long-term success? In this episode, we explore the concept of the Tragedy of the Horizon and examine the psychological, economic, and leadership challenges of thinking beyond immediate concerns. Learn why our brains naturally focus on the present, how this affects decision-making around issues like climate risk and financial stability, and why long-term projects can inspire greater responsibility across generations. We also discuss practical strategies for developing a future-oriented mindset, strengthening strategic thinking, and making decisions that create lasting value. Whether you're interested in leadership, sustainability, economics, or personal growth, this episode provides valuable insights into overcoming short-term thinking and building a more resilient future.
