This reminds me of 1 book I’d want if stranded on a deserted island, Barry Schwartz’s _The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less_.

Schwartz has been seen in magazines like Men’s Health where readers want to choose among so many gadgets, e.g., digital cameras. He shows an example of 2 tastings where one could either sample 6 or 25 chocolates. The one with 25 yielded less satisfaction because after a while, all started to taste the same.

It’s interesting because the notion of careers is also covered in this book. Careering was simpler in previous years because you’d choose one profession and stay with it until retirement. Some say that was a boring way to live, especially if you discovered you were cut for something else later in life. So now is a time to rejoice because we’re more flexible to change and following passions. However, people experience a lot more anxiety because the fear is, “What if I choose the wrong career out of so many?”
