Why your brain is biased towards the past (and what you can do about it)

One of the most misunderstood truths about human behavior?  Your brain is not built to create your future—it’s built to protect your past. Drawing on the neuroscience of predictive processing, in this episode Kip explains why your brain keeps recycling old patterns, even when you’re ready for your next-level identity. If you’ve ever felt like you’re repeating the same habits despite all your inner work, this episode reveals the real reason why.You’ll learn how emotion, identity, and visualization shape your brain’s predictive machinery, and why a vivid, emotionally-charged Future Self can override your brain’s default loyalty to familiar routines. With insights from researchers like Anne Wilson and Hal Hershfield, Kip shows how to shift from working toward your future to acting from it—collapsing the gap between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming.__________________Subscribe to my newsletter Dispatches from the Future You, and receive weekly insights to help you shed everything that's no longer working for you in order to create the space for something new and magical to come along!Music by Adrián Berenguer, “Little Things” from the album Immaterial, used by permission.
