The Paradox of Choice: Why More Options Make Us Less Happy
Manage episode 446498819 series 3610201
In a world filled with endless choices—from what to watch to where to live—why does having more options often make us less happy? In this episode of Mind Theory, we explore the Paradox of Choice, a psychological phenomenon that shows how too many options can lead to decision fatigue, analysis paralysis, and even regret. We’ll dive into how the abundance of choices overwhelms us and why those who seek “good enough” (satisficers) tend to be happier than those who seek the absolute best (maximizers). Discover how simplifying decisions and focusing on quality over quantity can lead to greater happiness.
