NOTE

Minimize choices, perfection is when there is nothing to delete

A limited number of choices contributes to greater happiness, as evidenced by the Amish community, who experience significantly higher happiness levels than the average American. This stems from their collective lifestyle, where standardized dress and reduced competition mitigate feelings of inequality. Research indicates that higher inequality, exemplified by the Gini Index, leads to unhappiness even among the wealthy, who live in fear of crime and social unrest. The idea that diversity is always beneficial is challenged; extensive diversity can lead to societal friction and cultural conflicts, complicating integration efforts. A more homogenous worldview within communities appears to enhance happiness and cohesion, as seen in the successful integration of Ukrainians into Europe due to shared cultural backgrounds. Simplifying life choices, beliefs, and environments can foster greater satisfaction both personally and professionally.
