Whether we're buying a pair of jeans, ordering a cup of coffee, selecting a long-distance carrier, applying to college, choosing a doctor, or setting up a 401(k), everyday decisions—both big and small—have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented. As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress. And, in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression. In The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice—the hallmark of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish—becomes detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being. In accessible, engaging, and anecdotal prose, Schwartz shows how the dramatic explosion in choice—from the mundane to the profound challenges of balancing career, family, and individual needs—has paradoxically become a problem instead of a solution. Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse. By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counter intuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on those that are important and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.

Bad decisions are the crux of this novel. The main characters strive to unravel their unfortunate bad mistakes and choices. Marco Berryfield, a highly motivated, honest, bright and career-minded CPA, and hardly a negative individual, continually faces significant and unsurmountable obstacles which he gradually overcomes but not before he experiences the devastation of the loss of his parents in a car accident and his impending divorce. He becomes convinced that his hopes and dreams of a very happy and successful life could easily be accomplished until his stable marriage to a woman of a different race abruptly and surprisingly comes to an end. He is now facing the shock of his wife’s insistence on terminating their short marital agreement. Oddly enough, the breakup has nothing to do with their interracial marriage. Marco is crushed and suffers extreme guilt thinking he is the cause of the breakup. He never expected or anticipated that his future would become so challenged and eventually collapse. He experiences serious ups and downs. In the meantime, he was completely unaware of his wife’s devious nighttime activities and is faced with the shocking awareness of her sly and deceitful behavior. He is forced to deal with yet another bad decision that he has made. Following his divorce, he meets up with a bizarre, but rich, elderly billionaire under very strange circumstances and accompanies him to Atlantic City. Marco is unaware he is leading a double life. While in Atlantic City, he meets and becomes completely enthralled by the Assistant Manager of the hotel and his life dramatically turns around.
