Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert





or on TED,
TED.com

"psychological immune system"
A system of unconscious processes that help people change their view of the world, so that people can feel better about the world in which they find themselves.


I am more interested in this part of his point, about happiness and choice.
Ability of changing your mind is the friend of natural happiness,
but freedom to choice is the enemy of synthetic happiness.

Barry Schwartz: The paradox of choice



WHY MORE IS LESS? Barry Schwartz talks about the dark side of increasing choices.
之前在想畢業專題要做啥
看到Barry Schwartz的論點
真是開心 原來不是全是我的問題
我常常很難做決定 買個東西都要想個半天
每次跟alice吃飯她都很頭大
因為我無法決定要吃啥
花很多時間在搖擺不定
太多選擇反道成為一種生活上的阻力?
