Battles between your present self and your future self are not fair. Your present self holds advantages and is always poised for victory. So says Daniel Goldstein in this illuminating Ted Talk.

Because if we don't find ways of helping our future selves win, then we are setting ourselves up for financial struggle. (Spoiler alert: yes, this is about saving.)
