“Happiness as a goal is a recipe for disaster.”
― Barry Schwartz

“Nobel Prize–winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman and his colleagues have shown that what we remember about the pleasurable quality of our past experiences is almost entirely determined by two things: how the experiences felt when they were at their peak (best or worst), and how they felt when they ended. This “peak-end” rule of Kahneman’s is what we use to summarize the experience, and then we rely on that summary later to remind ourselves of how the experience felt.”
― Barry Schwartz, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less

“we have a tendency to look around at what others are doing and use them as a standard of comparison.”
― Barry Schwartz, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less

“We are surrounded by modern, time-saving devices, but we never seem to have enough time.”
― Barry Schwartz, The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less
