The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less

The Paradox of Choice is a book written by Barry Schwartz, a professor at Swarthmore (where my dad got his undergrad!).

I was going to write this post and then I checked my voicemail messages and got one that wasn't particularly what I wanted to hear and now I don't feel like writing.

But the book is incredible. I loved it because it inspires thought. Certain conclusions drawn by Schwartz may not be universally accepted, but his work leads the reader to analyze and probe their own inner workings.
