Why the mind mispredicts its own future happiness: four repeatable blind spots in imagination and memory, and the one practical substitute that beats them all.

A working guide to why imagination is a poor guide to future happiness: how it borrows today's mood, fills gaps with convenient defaults, and narrows focus onto one event while everything else keeps happening. Six sections, six hands-on interactives, and one practical substitute — a stranger's present experience — that beats your own best guess.
