"Normal": A simple way to become happier

"Normal" - it is horoshoPo to psychologist Barry Schwartz, there are two types of people in this world: "normal", which stop at the "normal" and "maximizers" who are always trying to choose the best option. Guess what type happier.





Unlike maximizers, which can always be a doubt in their decisions, suffering from FOMO (fear to miss) and constantly frustrated because their expectations are growing, "normal" can agree on things that just are acceptable, even if they know that in fact it could have been better.

Council Schwartz interview Eric Barkeru

Whenever you need a new laptop, you call one of your friends-maximizers and ask: "What would you buy a laptop?" And buy this notebook. Will it be the ideal laptop in every respect? Probably not. Will it be good enough for your laptop? Absolutely right. The decision takes only five minutes instead of five weeks, and it's good enough, "normal" solution.

Good enough - it just right.
