Critic reviews

"Barry Schwartz is unparalleled in his ability to bring sophisticated and timely research to life, explaining it in a way that is relevant and full of insight. His research has made crucial contributions to how we make decisions, find motivation, and learn from our experiences." (Amy Wrzesniewski, Michael H. Jordan Professor of Management, Yale University)

"Who better than Barry Schwartz, one of the greatest psychologists of our time, to entertain, fascinate, inspire, and teach us? Every person who wants to be wiser, happier, or more successful - and that includes just about all of us - should listen to this audio course." (Sonja Lyubomirsky, Distinguished Professor and Vice Chair of Psychology, University of California, Riverside, and author of The How of Happiness)

"Barry Schwartz is full of wisdom, so I can’t think of a better person to teach a course on it. He’s a brilliant public intellectual with a remarkable gift for challenging us all to think deeper, work smarter, and lead happier, more meaningful lives." (Adam Grant, New York Times best-selling author of Originals and Give and Take, and host of the TED podcast WorkLife)

Good advice for 13 year olds

It's beyond my comprehension that this is a serious book/lecture.

The basic points are:
- the world isn't black and white,
- simple rules don't cover the complexity of real life.
- use your judgement.

To whom is this a new or deep insight?
