From YouTube.com user: farhadz
I know, I know, who wants to watch a lecture on the internet? It’s OKay, you don’t have to, but if you have 10 minutes to spare then I promise this one is worth your time.
The video seems like it was recorded at a talk Professor Barry Schwartz was giving in conjunction with his new book “The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less”.
Some of you may be familiar with the philosophical idea of Americans having freedom from everything and thus having freedom to nothing. This is basically what Schwartz’s lecture is all about (although he never says that).
This isn’t just a rehashing of European thinking however, Schwartz is a psychologist so he uses this concept to explain the widespread depression in affluent societies.
So if you made it this far and if you watched the video, what do you think? Do we have too many choices? Are we paralyzed and disappointed? Or do we have greater personal responsibility which we are not properly taught to exercise? Any insights and comments would be appreciated.

Excellent Video. Yes, I believe we have too many choices. Remember the networks ABC, NBC, CBS, and PBS. It was pretty simple to choose and sit through an entire show without surfing. Less is more.
