Скачать или смотреть More Choices, Less Happiness: Why You Can’t Decide — Paradox of Choice Explained

🧠 THE PARADOX OF CHOICE explains why more options don’t always make life better—they often make it worse. Choice overload increases decision fatigue, FOMO, and post‑choice regret. The fix isn’t no choice—it’s better choice design.

In this Insibook summary, you’ll learn:
✅ Maximizers vs. Satisficers — why “best” can make you miserable, and “good enough” sets you free
✅ Opportunity Costs — every option you consider adds hidden pain
✅ Adaptation — thrill fades; make choices that age well, not just feel good now
✅ Regret & Counterfactuals — imagining the road not taken hurts satisfaction
✅ Escalating Expectations — more choice raises the bar, lowering happiness
✅ Social Comparison — other people’s highlight reels distort your yardstick
✅ Choice Architecture — defaults, limits, and smart categories reduce overwhelm

🛠️ Practical Playbook:
• Pre‑decide criteria (3–5 must‑haves) before browsing
• Limit the menu: shortlists of 3–5 beat endless scrolling
• Time‑box decisions: set a deadline; perfectionism expands to fill time
• Satisfice by design: pick the first option that meets all must‑haves
• Use defaults & checklists for recurring choices (meals, workouts, investing)
• Batch small choices (one weekly plan beats 30 daily micro‑decisions)
• Commit & close the window: stop researching after purchase to avoid post‑choice regret
• Reduce comparisons: compare against your criteria, not people

🎯 Big idea: Multiply meaning, not menus. Fewer, clearer choices → less stress, more satisfaction.
