Barry Schwartz Quote
So, to be better prepared for, and less disappointed by adaptation: As you buy your new car, acknowledge that the thrill won’t be quite the same two months after you own it. Spend less time looking for the perfect thing (maximizing), so that you won’t have huge search costs to be amortized against the satisfaction you derive from what you actually choose. Remind yourself of how good things actually are instead of focusing on how they’re less good than they were at first.
