The Paradox of Choice
Having too many options can be overwhelming and lead to decision paralysis, a phenomenon known as the paradox of choice. For instance, when presented with hundreds of yogurt options at a supermarket, individuals may feel dissatisfied with their selection as they worry about whether they chose the best one.
