The Paradox of Choice (book by Barry Schwartz)

The Paradox of Choice, by Barry Schwartz, explains that while having options is generally positive, too many choices can lead to stress, indecision, and dissatisfaction. When faced with many alternatives, people may feel overwhelmed, fear making the wrong decision, or regret their choice afterward. This can cause frustration and reduce overall happiness. Schwartz suggests that limiting options can help us make better decisions, feel more confident, and be more satisfied with our choices, highlighting the importance of simplicity and focus in decision-making.
