Thought for the weekend
Psychology professor Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice, divided us into two types of people: “satisficers” (those who satisfy and then suffice) and “maximizers,” who seek out the best.
Thanks to smartphones and the Internet, our options are unlimited, whether it’s a retail item or a romantic possibility. We have all become maximizers.
While we may think we know what we want, we’re often wrong.
