The Paradox of Choice | 
Plenty of interesting psychology in this book— helped me understand my own decision processes more. I think I‘ll come back to this book in a few years when I‘m making my next big round of life decisions.
“Autonomy” is SUCH a buzzword in medicine right now—Schwartz offered a different take, that more autonomy does not lead to more happiness.
Also enjoyed his explanations of satisfizers vs. maximizes, of sunk cost fallacy, and opportunity cost.
“As the number of choices grows further, the negatives escalate until we become overloaded. At this point, choice no longer liberates, but debilitates.” #overload #QuotsyOct20

📙 Paperback (I am slowly getting accustomed to audiobooks but still need print to catch up)
📙 Mystery
📙 I drink tea more often, but love to indulge in hot chocolate when I can
(Need to isolate myself from all the dreary news! It's crippling me and I can't even turn to my ebooks as usual ;(( thank goodness for paperbacks that briefly comfort me)
Happy Hump Day!
1. I have developed an appreciation for audiobooks, but will always prefer paperback
2. A solid mystery is best
3. Hot tea any day of the year!

Who but a professor doing research would even stop to consider that there are almost 300 different cookie options to choose among?
My two insane towers of books from #BEA17. Deciding what to read next is so hard! #bookwormproblems
So last night when I couldn't sleep I redid the bookshelf in the living room and filled it with my current top TBRs. I'm trying to read more than one book at a time. Where would you start? 📚🤔 (PS: I just discovered stickers! 😱🎉💃)
That moment when you wish you didn't have a phone so you could be less distracted and read more books, but if you didn't have a phone, then you also wouldn't have Litsy.
