About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
As you read this summary, you will discover that having too many possibilities is detrimental to your happiness, and how to make it change.
You will also discover :
- how to no longer regret your purchases;
- how to deal with bad decisions;
- how to develop a state of mind adapted to this overabundance;
- how to choose quickly and well;
- the secret to being happier!
When Barry Schwartz, who is not a fashionista, wanted to buy a new pair of jeans, he was plagued with questions he didn't know the answers to. What size, what fit, what wash, what waist height, what leg length did he want? A choice that he thought was simple suddenly became so complex and obscure that he didn't even know what to buy. This example is not unique. In consumer societies, the smallest product can be declined ad infinitum, offering immeasurable possibilities of choice. The problem is that the more potential there is, the less happy you are. This is the "paradox of choice". Once you understand it, you can free yourself from its hold and considerably improve your life.
