The Paradox of Choice (Barry Schwartz)
█ Too much choice and too much information
• is paralyzing
• leads to bad decisions
• leads to dissatisfaction with good
decisions
█ Modern technology has helped create this
problem, but it can also help create the
solution, by tailoring options and
information in ways that are relevant to
individual consumers
