The paradox of choice
Today, I stumbled across this interview from a few years back:
Interview, Barry Schwartz, Author, “The Paradox of Choice”
It’s interesting, not only for what he says about matters of marketing and such, but more for the rather more fundamental datum that a wide variety of choices is not only no guarantee of happiness or fulfillment, but in fact makes satisfaction less likely. Stunning that he has the nerve to say that people should learn to say “good enough” rather than always look for the “best.”
No idea whether he’s a Christian, but he says some good things about gratitude, too.
