In this fun episode, we explore why people tend to believe that their future will be happier and more meaningful than their past. But does that optimism extend to everyone – or only to ourselves and the people we like? Tune in to discover what this reveals about hope, fairness, wishful thinking, and why realism may depend on whose future you’re imagining.
