Barry Schwartz Quote

Following the other suggestions I’ve made may sometimes mean that when judged by an absolute standard, the results of decisions will be less good than they might otherwise have been—all the more reason to fight the tendency to make social comparisons. So: Remember that He who dies with the most toys wins is a bumper sticker, not wisdom. Focus on what makes you happy, and what gives meaning to your life.
