b. Framing felt losses to either positively or negatively impact the likelihood of making certain decisions.

d. Using biofeedback techniques to help re-wire your brain so you will have more willpower capital.

Answer 1

The strategy for changing our future that was not discussed in class is: d. Using biofeedback techniques to help re-wire your brain so you will have more willpower capital.

What is the strategy

In the context of training the elephant part of our brains to align with the rider's plans, the use of biofeedback techniques to re-wire the brain for increased willpower capital was not specifically mentioned or discussed in class.

The other options—altering decision points, framing felt losses, and developing imagination capital through emotional imagery—were likely part of the discussion about strategies to influence decision-making and align our actions with our goals, but biofeedback techniques were not explicitly covered in this context.
