Too much choice leads to paralysis. Some marketers are already on to this and I suspect more will follow. I don't quite understand how he turns this into a pro socialism argument.He also makes the point that less choice makes you disappointed at the world and more choice makes you disappointed with yourself. Isn't it better to know that if there is a problem you have the power to rectify it rather than just throw your hands up and sulk in the former scenario?

The time to end rational debate is when one is reduced to either name calling or profanity.

what does personal responsability have to do with happines? The argumnet is that more choise makes it more difficult to reqognize the better one. "move..."So the second you bought something there can be a better choise right next to you. buy that one too? and the one next to it which is also better but in a different way? and that one in the back?... balance is key! More of a good thing is not neccesarly better in fact in many cases its worst for the same reasons as the vid.

it is sudesfing to knw that i got the best product after doing tons of research about it but i did that by redusing the choises. So really i just took away all the choices due to performance. So if the had only produced that product it would be no different. but the problem is not what jeans you buy but when you go to the doc and he askes you what medicen do you want as if you knw.

now I know why religion/marriage/social conformity makes people happier.

I've experienced choice paralysis, but I actually disagree with everything this guy says. You learn to rein in your expectations, shop practically (and develop favorite stores/brands/etc within all that choice) and really relish the things that do turn out to be perfect.

What I find interesting in his blue jeans anaology was that too much choice was not the real issue and not enough choice was. He couldn't choose the jeans he really wanted because either they were not available or the clerk was ignorant of the availability. |
