The Tyrrany of choices

Intresting piece from http://www.spring.org.uk/2007/09/barry-schwartz-on-why-too-much-choice.php

Why too much choice is bad for us. Too many choices cause:
  • Paralysis rather than liberation - people prefer to make no decision rather than make a complicated choice.
  • Less satisfaction with decisions as people have greater reason to regret the decisions they have made.
  • Unrealistic expectations.
  • Self-blame - when experiences are not perfect, people blame themselves.
