Michal’s Reviews > The Art of Choosing > Status Update

This is a rather dense (in a good way) account of research on choice.

The first chapter deals with the importance of choice for one's survival and life expectancy, both in the extreme scenarios like being stranded on a boat in open ocean, and in daily life such as in a job. For example, having little choince in one's work can lead to heightened blood pressure and increase of risk for coronary diseases.
