The Paradox of Choice

July 31, 2004

An interesting read about how the modern superabundance of choice makes at least some unhappy rather than the happy rational economics says they should be.    (A9B)

Points to a recent book of the same name by Dr. Barry Schwartz.    (A9D)

It's fairly clear to me that this is a big player in my life and one of the motivating factors in getting rid of stuff (where stuff is the gamut including things, ideas, foods, people, places, passions, participations, etc.).    (A9E)

I just took four grocery sacks of clothes to Goodwill. I feel immensely better off.    (A9G)
