The Paradox of Choice pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
In the spirit of Alvin Toffler’s Future Shock , a social critique of our obsession with choice, and how it contributes to anxiety, dissatisfaction and regret. This paperback includes a new P.S. section with author interviews, insights, features, suggested readings, and more. Whether we’re buying a pair of jeans, ordering a cup of coffee, selecting a long-distance carrier, applying to college, choosing a doctor, or setting up a 401(k), everyday decisions--both big and small--have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented.
We assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress. And, in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression.
In The Paradox of Choice , Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice--the hallmark of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish--becomes detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being. In accessible, engaging, and anecdotal prose, Schwartz shows how the dramatic explosion in choice--from the mundane to the profound challenges of balancing career, family, and individual needs--has paradoxically become a problem instead of a solution. Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse.
By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counterintuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on the important ones and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.
Barry Schwartz is the Dorwin Cartwright Professor of Social Theory and Social Action at Swarthmore College. He is the author of several books, including Practical Wisdom: The Right Way to Do the Right Thing, with Kenneth Sharpe, and Why We Work. His articles have appeared in many of the leading journals in his field, including American Psychologist.

评分像我这种没得choose的人怎么还在读这种书?
这本书只有188页,但是内容很充实,基本上方方面面都提到了,许多例子都在《别做正常的傻瓜》、《怪诞经济学》中出现过,不过既然标题是《无从选择》,重点就在于选择。 我想起五一的一次经历,为了买一双鞋子,把成都各大商场都逛遍了,前后花了2天时间终于买到了合适的最便...
评分虽然依稀记得时间段,却无法说清楚是在我大学的哪门必须或者是选修课程里,我学到了"经济人"和"社会人"的概念,知道了一个人无法独立的存在,必须和周围环境与人群发生直接或者间接的关系.即便具体概念定义早已不再清晰,但这好似模糊,却又具体的文字却一直印刻在...
