The Paradox of Choice:

According to Schwartz, the myriad options available to us now can create a dilemma. A sense of overload and anxiety can result from having too many options, even though having options is typically viewed as a positive component of freedom and autonomy. People may find it difficult to decide when presented with a variety of possibilities because they worry they may pick poorly and end up regretting their choice. The idea that having more options always results in greater satisfaction is called into question by this contradiction.
