Just back from an event in Glasgow's Oran Mor organised by Scotland's Centre for Confidence & Wellbeing. The speaker was Professor Barry Schwartz.
I have tweeted some of his quotes (@laurieod) and this post is my notes of what he said.
The 'Paradox of Choice' - too much choice in certain aspects of our lives (commodities/products etc) can make us miserable whilst not enough choice in other areas (how we treat/are treated by other people) can also make us unhappy.
The official syllogism
More freedom.
