Podcast appearances and mentions of Barry Schwartz

Are you physically in your relationship but emotionally somewhere in the middle? Torn between choosing in fully or choosing out, yet stuck in painful limbo? In this episode, we explore Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife's powerful insights on the losing strategy of indecision — that quiet, exhausting place of straddling that slowly erodes your happiness, self-respect, and connection.Drawing from her deep work with couples on intimacy and relationships, Dr. Finlayson-Fife explains why avoiding clear choice feels safer in the moment but becomes one of the most costly paths we can take. You'll hear honest stories, research-backed truths, and practical wisdom about confronting our human limits and learning to choose with greater clarity and courage.What You'll Learn:Why every decision (including not deciding) closes doors — and how facing that reality actually creates more meaning and joyThe fantasy of “keeping options open” and why it quietly destroys marriages and personal well-beingReal-life examples of straddling in dating, long-term marriage, and major life decisions like divorceHow to know when you've gathered enough information and when it's time to step fully in or outPractical ways to stop overthinking, calm the anxiety of indecision, and choose from your most honest selfWhat choosing in with integrity looks like — even when the marriage isn't perfect and intimacy has sufferedThe difference between a clear-eyed commitment and resentful limboFeaturing powerful ideas from Oliver Burkeman's Four Thousand Weeks and Barry Schwartz's The Paradox of Choice, this episode offers a compassionate but clear-eyed look at one of the most common patterns that keeps people stuck.If you've ever felt trapped between yes and no, this conversation will help you understand what's really happening — and how moving out of the indecision trap can bring relief, clarity, and a more fulfilling life and relationship.Resources Mentioned:Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver BurkemanThe Paradox of Choice by Barry SchwartzThat We Might Have Joy: Desire, Divinity & Intimate Love by Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-FifeListen now and take an honest look at where you might be half-in, half-out — and what choosing differently could open up for you.Get in TouchWebsite: MasterYourMarriage.usInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/masteryourmarriageFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MasterYourMarriage/

Rational choice theory has become so familiar that it can feel like common sense. We talk about trade-offs, optimization, ROI, and risk as if they capture what it means to think clearly. But many of the decisions that matter most do not work that way. They are shaped by context, values, relationships, and the larger story of a life. In this episode, Barry Schwartz returns to discuss how rational choice theory became the default way we think, how it shapes work and decision-making, and what a more human approach to being rational might look like.Barry Schwartz is a psychologist and professor emeritus at Swarthmore College. He studies decision-making, motivation, and the role of meaning in work and life.In this episode, Dart and Barry discuss:- Why we treat decisions like math- What gets lost when everything becomes a number- Why some choices cannot be compared- The difference between risk and uncertainty- How framing shapes every decision- Why metrics can crowd out judgment- The danger of maximizing everything- Why good enough can be wiser- How choices fit into a larger life story- Why counting is not the same as thinking- And other topics…Barry Schwartz is the Dorwin P. Cartwright Professor Emeritus of Social Theory and Social Action in the Psychology Department at Swarthmore College, and Visiting Professor of Management at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. His work focuses on decision-making, motivation, moral judgment, and meaning in work and life. He is the author of The Battle for Human Nature, The Costs of Living, The Paradox of Choice, and Why We Work. He is also the co-author of Practical Wisdom (with Kenneth Sharpe) and Choose Wisely (with Richard Schuldenfrei).Resources Mentioned:Barry's Book, Choose Wisely: Rationality, Ethics, and the Art of Decision-Making: https://www.amazon.com/Choose-Wisely-Rationality-Ethics-Decision-Making/dp/0300283997 Barry's Book, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less: https://www.amazon.com/Paradox-Choice-Why-More-Less/dp/0060005688 Barry's Book, Why We Work: https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Work-TED-Books/dp/1476784868 Work with Dart:Dart is the CEO and co-founder of the work design firm 11fold.

Wikipedia erased an entry about legendary search journalist Barry Schwartz citing their editorial team's perception Barry has a commercial interest in a Wikipedia entry. That he's spent most of this century writing a daily compendium of search engine related news stories every day since 2003 didn't appear to change their opinion. Including his work with Search Engine Watch and Search Engine Land, Barry has written nearly 50,000 articles on search. In short, Barry Schwartz is a living legend who has contributed more to this industry than virtually anybody else. It's not like there's a hole in Wikipedia where a legend ought to be, it's just that there's another Barry Schwartz with academic credentials and at least one whole book in his field of his expertise. According to Wikipedia, he's the canonical Barry Schwartz. We beg to differ.In other news, the Google Search Console email letting you know GSC is now tracking impressions was a bug.

We've been told our whole lives that more choice equals more freedom, and therefore, more happiness. But that equation breaks down sooner than we think. In this episode, Michael and Megan sit down with psychologist and bestselling author Barry Schwartz to unpack the hidden costs of abundance—in our shopping carts, our workplaces, and our sense of identity. If you've ever felt paralyzed by too many options or trapped in an endless loop of comparison and upgrade, this conversation will help you understand why—and what to do about it.Memorable Quotes“You don't need to look at all the options. You look until you find one that meets your standards, and then pick it and stop looking. You're not looking over your shoulder in case somehow you missed an opportunity for something even better.”“Most important, I think, is to discipline yourself to believe—and act as if you believe—that good enough is pretty much always good enough.”“When there are 20,000 options, whether you like it or not, your choice says something about who you are—not just to the world, but also to yourself. 'I'm the kind of person who goes to this restaurant, buys this clothing,' and so on. What that does is make even trivial decisions into high-stakes decisions.”“Most people see the options we have not as a problem, but as an opportunity. And of course it is an opportunity, but it's an opportunity that has problems attached. So if you become self-aware about this, that's the first step toward making decisions about which parts of your life are worth devoting this kind of time and effort to—and which parts are just details.”“One thing that's clear now is that [AI] does not replace judgment. It assists judgment… So you need to be judicious and knowledgeable in asking the right questions of AI and in interpreting the answers that you get to extract the kernels and discard the husks.”“The way you become wise, the way you develop judgment, is by making decisions, watching some of them fail, and learning how to make better and better decisions—more and more context-sensitive decisions—as a result of correcting your previous errors. People need practice to become wise, and the more people rely on AI, the less practice they're gonna get.”Key TakeawaysChoice Excess Creates Problems. Having many options attracts our attention but undermines our decisiveness. That paralysis then reduces our satisfaction even with the decisions we do make.Maximizers Pay a Hidden Tax. People who consistently seek the very best option spend more time deciding, feel less satisfied with their choices, and are more prone to regret and depression. People who stop when they find something “good enough” consistently report greater wellbeing.Abundance Raises the Stakes of Every Decision. When there are only two jean brands, your choice says nothing about you. When there are thousands, every purchase becomes an identity statement. That's what turns trivial decisions into exhausting ones.A Calling Isn't Reserved for the Corner Office. Barry's research on hospital janitors shows that meaning at work has nothing to do with prestige. It comes from seeing how your work serves others and being given the freedom to act on that view.AI Can Erode Wisdom. The way we develop judgment is by making decisions, watching some fail, and learning from the correction. The more we outsource decisions to AI, the less opportunity we have to build that wisdom. Knowledge and wisdom are not the same thing.ResourcesThe Paradox of Choice by Barry SchwartzChoose Wisely by Barry Schwartz and Richard SchuldenreiWhy We Work by Barry Schwartz“Every Life Has a Story” (Chick fil A video referenced)“AI Doesn't Reduce Work—It Intensifies It” (HBR article referenced)The Fix by Ian Cron (referenced)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/w_FOZXsxMgMThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

You may have spent twenty minutes scrolling through Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime or YouTube last night… only to end up watching nothing.

You have the journals. The saved Instagram posts. The downloaded workbooks. The course you paid for and almost finished. The forty-seven browser tabs comparing business models.And you're still not started.In this episode, I'm naming the real reason — and it's not what you think. It's not laziness. It's not a lack of faith. It's a psychological pattern I call the Clarity Trap: the belief that one more piece of research will finally be the thing that makes you ready to begin.Backed by landmark Stanford research, one of the most-watched TED Talks of all time, and nearly two decades of coaching women across three continents, today I'm going deep on the one thing keeping more gifted, called women invisible than any other single force. And I'm showing you exactly how to break free from it — before one more month slips past.3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ The Knowing-Doing Gap — and Why More Information Makes It WorseStanford researchers Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton found that the biggest barrier to performance isn't lack of knowledge — it's the failure to translate knowledge into action. And counterintuitively, more information often widens the gap rather than closing it. You don't have an information problem. You have a proximity problem. The solution isn't another course. It's someone in your corner while you build.2️⃣ The Paradox of Choice Is Keeping You ParalysedBarry Schwartz's landmark research showed that more options produce more paralysis — not more freedom. In a famous study, shoppers were far less likely to buy jam when faced with 24 varieties than with just 6. Every new piece of content you consume adds another variable to your decision. Your brain — trying to protect you — responds to that overwhelm with one word: wait. That word is not wisdom. It is fear wearing the coat of wisdom.3️⃣ Clarity Is the Fruit of Action — Not the Root of ItYou don't get clear and then start. You start — and clarity is what emerges. The women who break out of the Clarity Trap are almost never the ones who finally found the right information. They are the women who finally found the right proximity: someone who had gone before them, and walked with them while they went. Clarity on your niche, your message, and your offer is not a prerequisite for starting. It is a byproduct of starting.RESOURCES MENTIONED:Free Clarity Map™ — your next honest step: https://www.sheinherited.com/clarityPOOF Founding Cohort — doors open Sunday, March 23 (8–10 spots only): https://www.sheinherited.com/2026poofResearch cited: Pfeffer & Sutton, The Knowing-Doing Gap (Harvard Business Press, 2000)Research cited: Barry Schwartz, The Paradox of Choice — TED Talk & bookScripture referenced: Luke 19:11–27 — Parable of the Ten MinasEpisode 5 (listen next): Your Story Is the Only Thing the Algorithm Can't StealEpisode 1: Walking Through Fire — How Betrayal Qualified MeEpisode 2: The ONE Thing Aspiring Founders Get WrongSUBSCRIBE & REVIEWIf today's episode named something you've been living — if you heard yourself in those forty-seven tabs — take a moment to subscribe and leave a review here or on Apple Podcasts.

Hier soir, vous avez peut-être scrollé pendant vingt minutes sur Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime ou YouTube... pour finalement ne rien regarder. Cette sensation de paralysie face à trop d'options n'a rien d'anodin.  Elle a même été théorisée en 2004 par le psychologue américain Barry Schwartz sous le nom de "paradoxe du choix". Contrairement à ce qu'on pourrait croire, multiplier les possibilités ne nous rend pas plus libres ni plus heureux. Au contraire, cela génère de l'anxiété, de l'insatisfaction et une difficulté croissante à prendre des décisions.  Pourquoi nous sommes paralaysés face à trop d'options ? Pourquoi reste-t-on insatisfait même après avoir fait un choix ? Que peut-on faire pour contrer ce mécanisme ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez".

The more options we keep alive, the harder it becomes to choose well.But the real issue isn't just choice overload. It's that most of our decisions are built to be reconsidered.If a decision depends on you waking up tomorrow and still agreeing with yourself, it's not a decision.

Nous vivons dans une époque où le choix est partout. Choisir un film, un métier, un partenaire, un restaurant, un itinéraire, un abonnement. Plus les options se multiplient, plus nous avons l'impression d'être libres. Pourtant, une idée surprenante défendue par plusieurs chercheurs affirme exactement l'inverse : trop de choix peut nous rendre moins heureux. C'est ce qu'on appelle le paradoxe de la liberté de choix.Intuitivement, la liberté signifie pouvoir sélectionner ce qui nous convient le mieux parmi un grand nombre de possibilités. Mais notre cerveau n'est pas conçu pour comparer des dizaines, voire des centaines d'options simultanément. Chaque décision demande un effort mental : analyser, anticiper, évaluer les conséquences. Plus les options sont nombreuses, plus cette charge cognitive augmente.Un psychologue américain, Barry Schwartz, a popularisé ce concept au début des années 2000. Il distingue deux types de personnes : les satisficers, qui choisissent une option “suffisamment bonne”, et les maximisateurs, qui veulent absolument la meilleure option possible. Or, plus l'éventail de choix est large, plus les maximisateurs deviennent anxieux, car ils craignent en permanence de se tromper.Ce phénomène a été observé dans des expériences simples. Dans un supermarché, lorsque les clients pouvaient goûter six variétés de confiture, ils achetaient davantage que lorsque vingt-quatre variétés étaient proposées. Trop d'options provoquent souvent un effet de paralysie décisionnelle : au lieu de choisir, on hésite… et parfois on renonce.Mais le paradoxe ne s'arrête pas là. Même après avoir choisi, l'abondance d'options continue de nous poursuivre. Si nous savons qu'il existait vingt alternatives, nous sommes plus susceptibles de regretter notre décision, en imaginant qu'une autre option aurait pu être meilleure. Résultat : au lieu d'être satisfaits, nous doutons.Ce paradoxe explique pourquoi certaines sociétés très orientées vers la consommation affichent des niveaux élevés d'anxiété et d'insatisfaction, malgré un confort matériel sans précédent. Avoir plus ne signifie pas nécessairement se sentir mieux.Faut-il pour autant renoncer à la liberté de choix ? Non. Mais il peut être bénéfique de simplifier volontairement notre environnement : réduire le nombre d'options, établir des routines, accepter l'idée qu'un bon choix est souvent préférable à un choix parfait.Le paradoxe de la liberté de choix nous rappelle une chose essentielle : la véritable liberté ne consiste pas toujours à multiplier les possibilités, mais parfois à savoir se limiter. Car ce n'est pas la quantité de choix qui nous rend heureux, mais la paix intérieure avec les choix que nous faisons. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

The school year has barely started… and mornings are chaos, afternoons are meltdowns, and bedtime is a war zone. If your family routine is already off the rails, you’re not alone — and you’re not failing. In this short, evidence-based episode, Justin & Kylie share two powerhouse strategies backed by world-class research that will instantly reduce friction, restore calm, and get your days flowing again. KEY POINTS Most families don’t have ten problems — they have one bottleneck. Fix that, and everything downstream improves. Use three questions to identify your real bottleneck (not the symptoms). Mornings, after-school collapse, bedtime battles, and parent bottlenecks are the most common trouble spots. Decision fatigue breaks routines. Successful families minimise decisions by using defaults, patterns, and routines. One-time decisions beat daily debates: uniforms, breakfast rotation, meal rosters, after-school defaults, and bedtime rules. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “Family routine falls apart because you’re burning willpower on low-value repetitive decisions instead of creating a system that lets you make the decision once — then keep it on repeat.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Theory of Constraints — Eli Goldratt (bottlenecks & flow) Paradox of Choice — Barry Schwartz (decision overload) Decision Architecture — Chip Heath Skylight Calendar (not sponsored) — digital scheduling & defaults tool ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Identify the bottleneck: Ask: When does chaos peak? What task derails everything? What’s the domino? Fix that first. Engineer it out of existence: Change the environment, not the child — uniforms ready, lunches packed, shoes found the night before. Create defaults: Breakfast rotation, meal roster, after-school ritual, homework spot, bedtime time. Save willpower for what matters. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Descubre Cómo Entender de Verdad Un Trastorno de Ansiedad y Tomar Acción En Nuestro Curso Gratuito El Mapa de La Ansiedad: https://escuelaansiedad.com/Cursos/el-mapa-de-la-ansiedad ️ La Paradoja de la Elección: Cuando Más Opciones No Significa Más Libertad Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de La Teoría de la Mente. Hoy nos adentramos en un experimento de sábado, un espacio reservado para probar, explorar y jugar con nuevas formas de contar y entender la mente. Y esta vez lo hacemos de la mano de la inteligencia artificial… y de un libro que ya es un clásico en la psicología contemporánea: La paradoja de la elección, de Barry Schwartz. En este episodio analizamos cómo la abundancia de opciones, lejos de hacernos más libres, puede convertirse en un detonante de ansiedad, bloqueo y frustración. A partir de investigaciones, ejemplos cotidianos y una narración cercana, reflexionamos sobre por qué tomar decisiones se ha vuelto tan difícil en el mundo moderno. Schwartz nos habla de tres efectos clave de tener demasiadas opciones: 1️⃣ Parálisis por decisión: cuando la mente se bloquea frente al exceso de alternativas. 2️⃣ Satisfacción menguante: incluso cuando decidimos, las opciones no elegidas nos persiguen. 3️⃣ Expectativas irreales: creemos que debemos encontrar la opción perfecta... y si no lo hacemos, nos culpamos. Este episodio conecta profundamente con muchos de los temas que tratamos en AMADAG TV: el miedo a equivocarnos, el perfeccionismo, la hiperreflexión y esa constante presión interna por “elegir bien” en todo momento. Es un terreno fértil para que florezca la ansiedad, especialmente en quienes ya conviven con un trastorno de ansiedad generalizada, agorafobia o TOC. Como novedad, en este episodio usamos la IA como aliada para enriquecer el análisis, conectar ideas y ayudarte a sacar más provecho de este libro, que se ha convertido en una brújula para entender el laberinto de decisiones en el que vivimos hoy. ¿Cómo podemos tener una relación más sana con nuestras decisiones? ¿Qué estrategias pueden ayudarnos a vivir con más serenidad en medio de tanto estímulo? Este episodio no solo es una reflexión, sino una pequeña guía para empezar a elegir con menos miedo y más conciencia. ✨ Si este episodio te remueve, te inspira o te hace reflexionar, recuerda que puedes dar un paso más: Apúntate a nuestro curso gratuito El Mapa de la Ansiedad Un recorrido práctico para comprender los mecanismos de la ansiedad y empezar a tomar decisiones desde un lugar más claro y compasivo.

How has rational choice theory come to dominate both our understanding of the world and our view of good judgment, and why is that a problem? What are the benefits of remembering to zoom in and out to get a better picture of problems and solutions? Why do we prefer reducing things to numbers even if that abstracts useful levels of data?Barry Schwartz is a professor Emeritus at Swarthmore College and the prolific author of many books. His latest titles include Choose Wisely: Rationality, Ethics, and the Art of Decision-Making and Wisdom: How to Discover Your Path in Work and Life.Greg and Barry discuss the limitations of rational choice theory, the importance of practical wisdom, and the role of judgment in making decisions. They also touch on the broader implications of rational choice theory across various fields, the history of economic and social science paradigms, and the necessity of incorporating ethical considerations into people's decision-making. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The way we think about the world changes the world10:47: The argument in the book [Choose Wisely] was, the way we think about the world changes the world. And it is true that the way we think about the world changes the world, but it changes the world materially. It does not just change the world because of the ideas we have running around in our heads; it changes the material world. Yeah. The factory did not exist, and then it did. And as a result, what it meant to work changed. That was not in our heads. That was, you know, a structure that was out in the world that made demands on the people who walked in the door every day. So it was not idealism. The argument was that ideas change not just how people think, but what kinds of things people are able to do. And I think the same thing is true with rational choice theory, though it is a bit more abstract. You know, you cannot do a rational choice analysis without being able to quantify.Why we can't game the way to design incentives14:16: People somehow think that there is a bulletproof way to design incentives, so that they will not distort why they gave us the incentives they are designed to encourage. And, the bad news is there is no such thing, and there is no system that cannot be gamed.How economics changes the way we think07:22: There is a general, more general problem in social science, which is that, unlike planets, people are affected by claims that are made about what they are like. And so, the more we read social science, and the more economics, the king of the social sciences, dominates the news, the more inclined we are to think like and act like economists. So, does this tell us that the economists have discovered something? No. I mean, maybe. But it is just as likely that what economists have done is create something. They have created a way of approaching decisions and value assessment and so on that is consistent with their framework and changed people as a result.What we miss when we measure everything42:15: Rational choice theory is not neutral about what stays in the frame and what goes outside it. Things that go outside the frame are the ones that are most difficult to quantify using the same scale that you are using for everything else. And so, in the case of the price of a pound of beef, you could add the amount of money that our taxes contribute to subsidies. You could factor in the costs of the fertilizers that enable the corn to grow enough so that the cows can get fattened up. How do you quantify exactly the cost to human health? You can do it. How many more dollars do we pay per year because of antibiotic-resistant bacteria? But does that capture the cost in health? No. It only captures the dollar cost in health.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Rational Choice ModelDaniel KahnemanReinforcement LearningB. F.

The Governor of the Bank of Canada, Tiff Macklem, announced the fourth policy interest rate cut this year, down by a quarter of a percentage point to 2.25%, signaling a steadiness in inflation, while simultaneously warning of a weakening economy. It comes in the midst of a volatile U.S.-Canada trade war, and ahead of a later-than-usual federal budget, with a projected deficit of close to $70 billion. Host Mike Eppel speaks to Barry Schwartz, President and Chief Investment Officer at Baskin Wealth to get a pulse check of the Canadian economy ahead of the upcoming November 4th federal budget.

Not every decision can be reduced to data. In Choose Wisely: Rationality, Ethics, and the Art of Decision-Making, Barry Schwartz and Richard Schuldenfrei argue that wisdom begins where the algorithm ends.

Read the full transcript here. What does rationality mean when life won't fit a spreadsheet? If models demand one common scale, what happens to values that can't be compared? Are we optimizing choices, or narrowing them to what's easy to count? When do toy problems stop teaching us about real ones? Can preferences be “mapped” if the act of asking reshapes them? When is precision a disguise for guesswork? What standard should judge error when the world is fuzzy by design? If we want better decisions, should we start by choosing better frames? How do fast intuitions and slow reflection share the work when stakes are high? When should we pause because the first answer felt too easy? How can diverse perspectives expose what one mind won't see? How do we weigh the uncountable without pretending it's all commensurate? What does a life well chosen look like beyond being error-free? Barry Schwartz is an emeritus professor of psychology at Swarthmore College and a visiting professor at the Haas School of Business at Berkeley. He has spent fifty years thinking and writing about the interaction between economics, psychology, and morality. He has written several books that address aspects of this interaction, including The Battle for Human Nature, The Costs of Living, The Paradox of Choice, Practical Wisdom (with Kenneth Sharpe), Why We Work, and most recently, Choose Wisely (with Richard Schuldenfrei). Schwartz has spoken four times at the TED conference, and his TED talks have been viewed by more than 25 million people.

For many decision scientists, their starting point—drawn from economics—is a quantitative formula called Rational Choice Theory, allowing people to calculate and choose the best options. The problem is that this framework assumes an overly simplistic picture of the world, in which different types of values can be quantified and compared, leading to the “most rational” choice. Behavioral economics acknowledges that irrationality is common but still accepts the underlying belief from economics of what a rational decision should look like.   Drawing from economics, psychology, and philosophy—and both inspired by and challenging Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow—Barry Schwartz shows how the focus on rationality, narrowly understood, fails to fully describe how we think about our decisions, much less help us make better ones. Barry Schwartz is professor emeritus of psychology at Swarthmore College and visiting professor at Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley. His research and writing focus on the intersection of psychology and economics, particularly with regard to decision-making, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and the nature of human values. His books include The Paradox of Choice, Why We Work, and (as coauthor) Practical Wisdom. His new book, co-authored with the philosopher Richard Schuldenfrei, is Choose Wisely: Rationality, Ethics, and the Art of Decision-Making.

Before he was a Formula One driver, Lando Norris was the kid in the McLaren garage packing boxes, dismantling equipment, and working side by side with the mechanics. No glamour, no headlines, just long hours in the background, doing the kind of jobs nobody sees. What struck me most is that he didn't see it as grunt work. He saw it as belonging. As trust-building, as part of something bigger than himself, and that small shift is the difference between viewing work as a job, a career, or a calling.In this episode, we explore what it really means to treat your work as a calling, not just a set of tasks. We look at psychologist Dr. Amy Wrzesniewski's research on how we find meaning in the everyday, and how something as simple as reframing a task can transform the way we show up.Together, we explore:Why Lando's early garage work laid the foundation for his careerThe psychology of job, career, and callingHow job crafting turns small tasks into meaningful onesWhat leaders can learn about trust from Formula One teamworkHow to reframe your own work so it matters moreBecause high performance isn't only about winning under the lights, it's about the way you approach the work nobody else notices.Here is more information on the studies referenced: Jobs, Careers, and Callings: People's Relations to Their Work (Amy Wrzesniewski, Clark McCauley, Paul Rozin, Barry Schwartz, 1997)Jobs, Identities, and Work: How Job Crafting Relates to Meaningful Work and Work Identity (Justin M.

Why more is lessWe're surrounded by choice - an endless sea of possible paths we might take. However, does the overwhelming range of choices leave us better off or worse? In general, we tend to think that more is better, but Barry Schwartz, author of the ground-breaking book 'The Paradox of Choice', argues that this view is mistaken. More can lead us to be psychologically overloaded, unsatisfied, and tyrannised by the burden of choices that present themselves to us.Barry is an American psychologist and the Dorwin Cartwright Emeritus Professor of Social Theory and Social Action at Swarthmore College.
