Had some good points but not enough to fill a book, so it really felt like he was streaching his material.

I actually have a copy of this book if anyone wants to borrow it. I agree with the main premise: that the more choices we have the more stressful we can allow our lives to become. These days you can essentially do anything you want to, be who you want to, goodness it's stressful since you have that choice, you want to make sure to make the right decision, ah. It's been a while since I read it but I remember getting bored with the filler paragraphs and appreciating more the assertions to ponder for myself.

Good ideas, but very repetitive and not novel. Appreciated the actionable steps at the end but don't think it's worth it getting to them.

I'm glad that storygraph has quarter star ratings, because I think this book is close to 4 stars. It's an older book so maybe 5-10% of the struggles the author presented are now out-of-date, but it was a good read overall. So why 3.75 stars? Well, it's because I felt like the author didn't detail how to tackle some of these stressors until the very end of the book. He does a great job outlining problems, but you don't really get suggestions until the tail end. Overall a great read though!!

Boring. Endless summaries of participant studies. Published 20 years ago and felt very dated.

A good book, more of philosophical rather than providing practical paradigms. A scientifically backed research would have been very illustrative to understand the choice making procedure that the mind goes through.

ok lowkey ended up just skimming this because his point came across pretty clearly by the first chapter and everything else was just really repetitive.
