Filmed March 2014. Dan Gilbert shares recent research on a phenomenon he calls the "end of history illusion," where we somehow imagine that the person we are right now is the person we'll be for the rest of time. Hint: that's not the case. "Human beings are works in progress that mistakenly think they're finished."
