The paradox of choice states that the more choices we have, the more unhappy we feel.
The reason?
It’s the trap of comparison, which states that when making a choice, we are less happy about the decision we made because when caught looking through this lens we imagine what we could have experienced.
In other words, we need a choice but too many overwhelms our pyschology. And we must learn to be happy about the choices instead of getting caught up in the ideal.
It is that chase in the ideal that makes us so miserable.
