Top Comments : [TED] The paradox of choice | Barry Schwartz

Ja***********:

I used to have a phone that was attached to my house so no one could steal it.
It's true.

Ja********:

The outfit makes me feel like I’m getting a lecture from my dad

Eb*******:

Ted Speaker: “Choice is just an illusion”
Everyone in the comments: “Ew why did he dress like that?”

sa***********:

even after 10 years of watching it . this is eternal , and now so more obvious!

In*************:

In a nutshell : Excess is the root of modern day misery.

Ir***:

Watching this as I'm trying to find a new laptop. Too many choices. He's absolutely right.

Or**********:

I've watch this video like a dozen times. I come back to it often. This is like a meditation that I use to reset myself.

Ch************:

He's so right. I remember several years ago when all I had was a DVD player, I'd go down to the local library and choose a few movies that caught my eye, and that was it. But when the woman I was married to at that time purchased Netflix, I was so overwhelmed by the choices that were at my fingertips, I noticed that my pleasure diminished significantly. This was because I was always thinking to myself, damn there are so many movies on here, I want to choose the one that's really gonna wow me. It has to be perfect because there are so many others that I could be watching right now! That's just one example. The choices that are available today for everything are truly mind boggling.

ha**:

"I wrote a whole book to try to explain this to myself."

bi*************:

Happiness = Reality - Expectations, haha.

Ad******:

This is probably the best TED talk I've ever had to pleasure of listening to, and I've heard hundreds. This completely changes the way I view choice now.


In summary, lower your expectations.

He********:

240p or 144p
More choice is bad, mkayy

bc******:

I've seen interesting TED talks, fascinating TED talks and inspiring TED talks. This one changed my life.

Wi*********:

This guy looks like he's come straight out of the local Hardware store in the weekend buying pva glue and balsa wood to fix a broken cuckoo clock that he has in his basement.

Br***************:

"Man is condemned to be free" - Jean-Paul Sartre

To**:

This video was okay, but I expected it would have been better. I wish I made a different choice and picked the one with the cat playing the piano. I feel depressed now. :(

Ro*************:

"Everything is amazing and nobody's happy"

Fr********************:

I know everyone laughs when he says, "The secret to happiness is low expectations," but I've definitely found that to be true. As an ex-perfectionist, I can't tell you the relief I feel now at just being good enough or doing something well enough. Don't get me wrong - I still try to perform well, to the best of my abilities, and to challenge myself a bit; but I don't expect everything to go perfectly all the time. 

Once I started adapting to living this way, I discovered just what he is talking about: those little delightful surprises when something exceeded my expectations or went better than I had hoped it would. Truly, when you demand or expect less (and are content with merely being), it's like a whole other world opens up. It's such a relief.

sk*****:

"If you choose not to decide, you have still made a choice" - Neal Peart

Ma*********:

It's 2019 and my phone still don't have a creme brulée torch..

Li****:

"One of the effects of too many choices, paradoxically, is that it produces paralysis instead of liberation."

Le*************:

One minute forty two seconds in and I already can see that Barry is someone I'd enjoy a few beers with.

Li****:

"The secret to happiness is...low expectations." Great blend of humor & intelligent info.

Da**********:

Yeah, I'm over it, too!
Well spoken. As I had low expectations I now find myself pleasantly surprised; intelligent life does exist on Earth.

Ma********:

I totatally, completely, absolutely, wonderfully, happily, and definetly agree with him.

Jo*******:

This explains the popularity of apple's products.

Aj******:

Didn't even know TED was posting 13 years ago

Ep****:

Honestly, I've only stumbled upon this video today, but I've lived by its lessons for years. And not simply by accident. For the last 10 or so years I have grown my self-awareness to how I make myself happier. When I have the choice to spend my time doing anything at all, I rarely have fun or do anything. i'll think and come up blank or weigh options. Then i realized that when I am told to do certain things, I will enjoy side-activities immensely. So I set myself goals to work toward, simply for the fact that, even though I know I'm tricking myself, I'll start to think of something else I'll find more fun during those goals and I'll actually have fun by forcing myself to do somehting less fun first. I used to expect fun in the past, but was let down a lot. Now I tend to lower my expectations until I expect only really bad things to happen sometime, because I know that I cannot be disappointed by that mindset, only made happier by unexpectedly nice results. Granted, it took me a long time to develop this mindset without allowing myself to be depressed, so I can't recommend copying me without some deep self-reflection and knowledge of personal internal boundaries.
