Welcome back. Today we’re joined by Barry Schwartz, an American psychologist, the author of the books The Paradox of Choice, Practical Wisdom: The Right Way To Do The Right Thing, and the TED book, Why We Work.

Professor Schwartz studies the link between economics and psychology, offering startling insights into modern life. His talks at TED have been watched by more than 30 million people.

In today’s episode, we discuss why infinite choice can lead to paralysis and exhaustion, setting unreasonably high expectations, questioning our choices before we even make them and blaming our failures entirely on ourselves. We also speak about how to make the best choice if it even exists and how to make a decision which will lead to the highest satisfaction and peace of mind.

Enjoy my conversation with Barry Schwartz.
