The Paradox Of Choice : Why More Is Less, Revised Edition
ISBN: 9780062449924
Publication Date: 26 April 2016

In the spirit of Alvin Tofflers Future Shock, a social critique of our obsession with choice, and how it contributes to anxiety, dissatisfaction and regret. This paperback includes a new preface from the author.

As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress.

Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse.
