Content: The Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz
The Paradox of Choice is another book I highly enjoyed reading. The main premise is this – we are in a world saturated with more and more choices – and it’s hurting us instead of helping. When we have so many choices, not only does it make it harder to make a choice, but it makes the choice we make less satisfying. We can also get into a trap of always seeking out “the best” in a world of choices that we constantly live with regret and what could have been or wondering if there is something better we missed out on. If you want to learn how to be more satisfied in life and the choices you make (and the dangers of and ways to overcome too many choices), this is a good book for you. You can get it here on Amazon.

Nudge is about how the way we present or offer options can affect decisions. No choice is ever presented in a neutral way.
