Barry Schwartz
- Barry Schwartz is the Dorwin Cartwright Professor of Social Theory and Social Action at Swarthmore College, and the author of the well-received ‘Paradox of Choice,” which explores how less is truly more in life, and how “maximizers” face a more depressing life than “satisficers.” In our podcast interview, Barry explains his theories in easy-to-understand language, and makes a compelling case for reducing our number of choices in life while finding ways to savor our decisions and make them work for us.
Towards the end of the interview, Barry also discusses why it’s best to take a break from making major decisions after absorbing information, and also why colleges would be better adopting a “good enough” policy in the admissions process to create a happier, healthier set of high school and college students.
