For a short, engaging TED Talk on personality suitable for upper-intermediate students, Dan Gilbert’s "The Psychology of Your Future Self" could be ideal. Lasting about seven minutes, this talk dives into how people tend to underestimate how much they will change over time. Gilbert explores how personality, values, and desires evolve, which often surprises individuals looking back. This video provides a clear view of how the concept of a "future self" affects present-day choices, making it a fascinating topic for discussion.
