The Paradox of Choice | Barry Schwartz
post image

Plenty of interesting psychology in this book— helped me understand my own decision processes more. I think I‘ll come back to this book in a few years when I‘m making my next big round of life decisions.

“Autonomy” is SUCH a buzzword in medicine right now—Schwartz offered a different take, that more autonomy does not lead to more happiness.

Also enjoyed his explanations of satisfizers vs. maximizes, of sunk cost fallacy, and opportunity cost.

“As the number of choices grows further, the negatives escalate until we become overloaded. At this point, choice no longer liberates, but debilitates.” #overload #QuotsyOct20

A boy who loves to make noise gets to pick only one instrument (at his parents urging) in a music store, but there is too much to choose from!

#BiblioMAYnia Day 22: Not just one but 88 #MusicalInstrumentOnTheCover. One could use this picturebook to demonstrate how a child begins to fall in love with an instrument: and it starts off with one clear plink. I also chuckled at the clever twist in the end. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-iRv

#whichOneWednesday

📙 Paperback (I am slowly getting accustomed to audiobooks but still need print to catch up)

📙 Mystery

📙 I drink tea more often, but love to indulge in hot chocolate when I can

(Need to isolate myself from all the dreary news! It's crippling me and I can't even turn to my ebooks as usual ;(( thank goodness for paperbacks that briefly comfort me)

LiteraryinPA I‘m feeling similar right now. Hang in there! 💜💜💜 5y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Sending lots of love! I‘m having difficulty reading too.. my mind is spinning! 5y

TReads I'm so with you on this, Santhi. ❤️ I've watched more political addresses in the last 72 hours than I have in my entire life, and my head and heart are so fried that I'm lucky if a I can get through a sentence without spiralling off in another direction. And yet there's nothing I'd love more than to find comfort in the pages of a book. 😶 Wishing you peace amidst all this uncertainty. 🙏📚🙏 (edited) 5y
batsy I'm feeling the same and hope we all get some peace of mind 💜 5y
BookishMe @batsy anxiety peaked when the announcement was made about suspending commute across the causeway. Not affected but it feels so wrong! I understand so 5y
BookishMe @batsy *spread has to be stemmed. But have a PLAN! supply shortage didn't bother me as much as knowing livelihoods are affected. Images of crowded causeway - they deserved better, not put in a 'refugee-like' situation. Peace of mind is so critical now. Irresponsible attitude and inefficient authorities worry me more than the virus ;(( 5y
BookishMe @TReads oh my... I wouldn't be able to bear such intense burden without momentary insanity. Please take care of yourself too 💞💞 thanks so much for your kind wishes 5y
TReads @BookishMe Thank you, Santhi. Things have gotten a little easier now that I've been given permission to work from home. Scrolling Litsy has also been a big help. ☺️ (edited) 5y
batsy @BookishMe I hear you and totally agree. Our present government was fine with coming of out nowhere and stealing power, now their utter ineptness while we're in this crisis gives me chills. 5y
BookishMe @batsy all of you deserve better... May these troubled days end soon 💞💞 5y

Happy Hump Day!

1. I have developed an appreciation for audiobooks, but will always prefer paperback

2. A solid mystery is best

3. Hot tea any day of the year!
