The Paradox of Choice

Barry Schwartz gives a great TED talk on the ‘Paradox of Choice.’ I like the fact that he concludes with the assertion that we all need a ‘fishbowl’ to live in. No matter the size or limitations, without some kind of structure or boundary for us, life becomes somewhat out of control. Janis put it like this, “Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose.’

Enjoy!
