What is the Paradox of Choice?

The paradox of choice is the idea that having too many options can lead to indecision, anxiety, and ultimately unhappiness. This is because when people are faced with an abundance of choices, they may feel overwhelmed and unsure about which option is the best one. As a result, they may feel anxious about making the wrong decision and may even avoid making a decision altogether. The paradox of choice can also lead to regret, as people may second-guess their decisions and wonder if they made the right choice.

  • @1verse4ll
    Why are your videos feels timeless, educational, and satisfying? Gottaa love these videos man.
  • @las28314
    true. in today time, I usually feel unsatisfied due to 100+ choices while shopping online, though the final choice is the best I always feel regret not chosing the 2nd best and vice versa. For me 4 choices is the maximum number we should put.
  • Loved seeing the progression in the quality of the videos and even your voice since 2 years ago!
  • @ArielTavori
    One of the fundamental issues facing this age of abundance we are entering.
  • I think this is because there's a limited amount of available choices that we could try out and come to a decision about. Available choices upto that limit increase our happiness about the variety but after that number, once we've chosen something, we could be left wondering what else is out there? am I settling? could there be an option that I would've liked more?
  • @_..-.._..-.._
    But how does this effect compare to the effect where a medium sized popcorn priced close to the large increased large sales by a huge margin. It might’ve been the framing effect? So the right amount of choices and the right pricing works where too many choices just makes you want to think about it.

    Ones you hit 40 your options become obsolete. No longer do you think of how/when/ or who you should marry. Your first priority in this instance are your parents. You do not have any time to think about your own stuff.
  • Hi I like to watch videos like this But you are the best one So please stay consistent ...
  • @ziff_1
    I dunno. When I saw the big box of donuts, I was able to quickly choose the one i wanted.
