Anyone who's ever purchased a mobile phone plan knows large arrays of choices are aggravating and can create undue & unneccesary stress. It turns out that large arrays of examples supporting your thesis are also aggravating when they're nothing more than the exact same information wearing a different skin. Mr Schwartz had me from Chapter 1 in this (negative) respect.I found Paradox of Choice to be eminently skimmable, and - on the bright side - leaves the reader with little or no guilt (therefore no stress) when setting the book down with no intentions of picking it back up again.To be fair, Mr Schwartz' solutions to a less stressful life are straightforward enough. They basically amount to "moderation", which is something common sense tells us (whether we choose to listen is another matter), and does not require this book.That's one less choice you have to make - you're welcome.
