Interesting thoughts from Barry Schwartz:
Choices produce paralysis.
Multiple choices produce imaginative alternatives that are paradise, and this leaves us unfulfilled when we finally make choices.
Choices produce "exaggerated expectations."
There are no more pleasant surprises.
"The best you can ever hope for is that stuff is as good as you expect it to be, you will never be pleasantly surprised because your expectations have gone through the roof."
"The secret to happiness is low expectations."
"With a thousand different choices there is no excuse for failure."
Choices can lead to clinical depression.
"Material affluence produces many choices."
"The peculiar problem of affluence."
