Paradox of Choice
People are bombarded with more options than ever. There is a limit and when it is crossed, more choices will destroy the quality of life.
We make no choice because of inner paralysis.
We make poor decision because we focus only on few criteria to filter lots of options. Sometimes it’s a wrong filter.
We feel discontent because we are not sure we have made the best choice.
Think carefully about what you want before inspecting options. Aim for good enough, not perfection.
