Thought for the weekend<\/h3>\n
\nPsychology professor Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice, divided us into two types of people: \u201csatisficers\u201d (those who satisfy and then suffice) and \u201cmaximizers,\u201d who seek out the best.<\/p>\n

Thanks to smartphones and the Internet, our options are unlimited, whether it\u2019s a retail item or a romantic possibility. We have all become maximizers. <\/p>\n

While we may think we know what we want, we\u2019re often wrong.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
