With so many options to choose from, people find it very difficult to choose at all.” Barry Schwartz: “Increased choice decreases satisfaction with matters as trivial as ice cream flavors and as significant as jobs. It [increased choice] requires increased time and effort and can lead  to anxiety, regret, excessively high expectations, and self-blame if the choices don't work out.” Jam study by psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper Barry Schwartz -  “More Isn't Always Better” - hbr.org/2006/06/more-isnt-always-better Barry Schwartz -  “The Paradox of Choice” - ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_the_paradox_of_choice Today's Guests: Jesse Lubinsky  (@jlubinsky) - Jesse Lubinsky is currently the Chief Learning Officer of Ready Learner One LLC and has nearly 20 years of public school experience as a teacher and administrator.
