Freedom Through Commitment

Consumer culture is very good at making us want more & more. Underneath all the hype & marketing is the implication that more is always better. I bought into this idea for years. Make more money, visit more countries, and have more experiences.

More is not always better. In fact, the opposite is true. We are actually often happier with less. When we’re overloaded with options, we suffer from what psychologists call the paradox of choice.

The more options we’re given, the less satisfied we become with whatever we choose because we’re aware of all the other options we’re potentially forfeiting.

The Paradox of Choice

Having more options doesn’t mean that we will be happier, although, we often think that it will.

When we have too many choices, it is more difficult to take action, and if we decide, we are less satisfied with our choice.
