We are back to talking about choices again. Does having a large amount of choices cause increased anxiety? According to Schwartz, yes it does. Schwartz argues that a decreased number of choices will make us happier. When we think about it, for example, were as many people depressed 100 years ago as they are today? Little things in life is really what helps us get through everyday. These things, such as actually cooking a meal, allows our minds to process everything we have been perceiving. Not only have these daily processes been taken away, we have been given the responsibility of choosing one option out of a million offered.
