Look who’s talking too

There are internal conversations both verbal and nonverbal, and the questions asking inside

program our thoughts, feeling and actions

Daniel Kahneman on the difference betweenexperience selves (ES) and remembrance selves (RS).

The ES lives its life continuesly, it has moments of experience – one aftter the other. (..)The RS defines a story - the story the memory delivers for us, and is also true that we make up changes, significant moments and endings, endings are very very important. (..)”

When answering a question is the employee-client experiencing the living-in-the-present selfor he is preparing a story for her/his remembrance self?
