How to Make Better Choices (with Barry Schwartz)

<p>Every choice you make shapes your wellbeing - and the bigger the decision, the greater the impact. So when it comes to life-changing questions like where to live, who to marry, or which career to pursue, how can you tell if you&rsquo;re making the best decision for your long-term happiness?</p> <p>Economists might argue that you should weigh up every single option carefully - like a gambler in a casino figuring out the odds of winning. But psychologist Barry Schwartz says you can't apply a formula to happiness. In this episode, he shares insights from his new book, <a href="https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300283990/choose-wisely/"><em>Choose Wisely: Rationality, Ethics, and the Art of Decision-Making</em>&nbsp;</a>(co-authored with philosopher Richard Schuldenfrei), offering a more thoughtful and human approach to making life&rsquo;s hardest choices.</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
