Download or read book The Paradox of Choice written by Barry Schwartz and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this critique of rational choice theory, Emily Hauptmann explores the idea central to the theory, namely, that democracy can best be explained in terms of an economic conception of choice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the demand for an all-comprehending principle and power for unity is now pressing upon the world soul this buried idea of the Kingdom of God is becoming a new, living issue. It is experiencing nothing less than resurrection and is becoming the question of questions. The world is hungry for something, for something so universal that it takes in every human relationship and gives purpose and meaning to the whole, and something so intimate that it takes in one's own personal need and meets it with redemption and power by which to live. Is the Kingdom of God that conception? We think it is. And we, therefore, present it as the alternative to both Fascism and Communism.As we have said, the Christian is confused and alarmed. The structure of life is breaking down. We want a new sense of unity and meaning. She has felt that she is being driven to a choice between Communism and Fascism. She has inwardly disliked the choice of either, for while there are things in both to which he is drawn, there are things in both by which she is repelled.It has come as a relief to many to realize that the choice between Communism and Fascism for the Christian is a false choice. He does not need to take either. He can stand on his own ground, announce his own program. It is better than either of the alternatives. The nation need not go Communist or Fascist. It can go Christian. But to go Christian does not mean the usual petty interpretation of being Christian. It must be Christian in the sense of being nothing less than the Kingdom of God on earth.- E. Stanley Jones (Introduction)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Choice Before Us For Militarism does not arise without cause. Its main cause is the menace of war. And that menace grows continually more terrible as preparation for war, in all States, becomes more effective. Nations do not choose Militarism. It is forced upon them. And if, when this war is over, the conditions that led up to it are to be perpetuated, Militarism is likely not only to be maintained and exasperated on the Continent, but to be introduced into the United Kingdom, the United States, and China. In japan it already prevails. The fact that men have died by millions to destroy it will have no effect on this result, unless, in all countries, those who have leisure and knowledge deliberately plan and work for a durable peace. It is as a contribution to such work' that the second part of this book was written. But the second part is intimately connected with the first, and should not be considered apart from it.

Download or read book The Choice Is Yours written by Safali Sisodia and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book says that life will always put you in different situations to deal with and gives you the choice to accept them positively and fight OR keep ignoring them and make excuses for your failures and blaming others including God. But when you understand your origin, your true self, then you will realize that the things you want in your life are already yours. You just have to discover your own self and connect with the Supreme Soul. The main highlights of this book are • Why are people so corrupt? • Why do people think that pain and suffering are for them, but not happiness? • How many Gods do we have? 1 or more than 10,000? • How does our mind play games with us? • What are the ways to control the thoughts created by our own mind? • Is there a spiritual way to deal with the different situations in life? • Why are both spiritual and material life important for us? Imbalance creates problems. The presence of the soul is the proof of the existence of spiritual life on this planet. Your body is made up of matter. So if you focus on your body, mind and ego only, then what you will get is stress and anxiety. If you focus only on your soul, then also you will feel loneliness. The best is to create a balance of both. How to create this balance is what you will deeply discover in this book. If you apply the knowledge of “The choice is yours” then you can achieve what many would regard as impossible.
