Iyengar’s argument is that having so many choices requires that we give up far more than we gain. The consulting group, McKinsey, thought the experiment to be so serious that they introduced the 3 by 3 rule, which means that clients first choose from 3 choices, which then lead to another 3 choices, which then lead to another 3 choices. Procter & Gamble, for example, having studied this experiment, reduced its varieties of Head & Shoulder shampoo, from 26 to 15, and saw sales increase by 10%. This has been proved in numerous experiments, from buying insurance, retirement plans, to the famous jam experiment we’ve just described. When we get too much choice, we get overwhelmed and then we tend not to choose at all. When we get too much choice, we get overwhelmed and we tend not to choose at all.įollowing on to Miller’s 1956 seminal paper, “ The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two,” Iyengar considers that we can only deal with a limited amount of choice. ![]()

All the scenes with him made the book 10x better. Mallory is a great main character, and I wish I had a friend like Colleen. I really enjoyed the characters in Hysteria. The last section of the book was one though that I had to wait until morning and the light to finish because I was afraid of how things would play out. Hysteria wasn't quite as scary as I was expecting, which was a great thing for me as I am a wimp. She has to put together the pieces throughout the book and you get to do so alongside her. It made concentrating on a huge term paper a bit difficult )Īs you read, readers are in the same state of mind that Mallory it - you don't know anything. Big mistake! Once I started, I was basically instantly hooked and all I wanted to do was just read it. I started it, thinking I would only read just a few pages. Hysteria by Megan Miranda was a pretty good read. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When they reach the Cup, they grab it at the same time.

Rather than trace the story of an individual hero in an isolated period of time, Foundation zooms out on the larger picture of civilization over a wide span of time and setting while touching on how forces such as technology, religion, and government all work together.Īsimov relates this concept of emphasizing the bigger picture of the world over the short-term individual to the existing cultural landscape of his own lifetime, where a strong sense of nationalism was on the rise. Foundation is a combination of five short stories spanning about one hundred and fifty years in the interstellar Galactic Empire. Asimov produced more than two hundred works, most popularly science fiction such as I, Robot, in addition to many works of non-fiction.įoundation drew its initial inspiration from The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by historian Edward Gibbons, an account read twice by Asimov.
