Book Description
Whether we're buying a pair of jeans, ordering a cup of coffee, selecting a long-distance carrier, applying to college, choosing a doctor, or setting up a 401(k), everyday decisions—both big and small—have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented. As Americans, we assume that more choice means better options and greater satisfaction. But beware of excessive choice: choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them, it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations, and it can make you blame yourself for any and all failures. In the long run, this can lead to decision-making paralysis, anxiety, and perpetual stress. And, in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless, too much choice can lead to clinical depression. In The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice—the hallmark of individual freedom and self-determination that we so cherish—becomes detrimental to our psychological and emotional well-being. In accessible, engaging, and anecdotal prose, Schwartz shows how the dramatic explosion in choice—from the mundane to the profound challenges of balancing career, family, and individual needs—has paradoxically become a problem instead of a solution. Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse. By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counter intuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on those that are important and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.

Book Description
Suddenly confronted with a diagnosis of brain cancer, Sybil, a young mother of two grown sons and a one-month-old grandchild, faced a dead-end diagnosis. A Spartanburg oncologist gave her a death sentence of three months without treatment. He conjectured that with chemotherapy and radiation she might possibly live a year. Sybil rejected both of those roads of no return in favor of a more promising direction. She found hope in a Florida clinical trial using a formula taken from the Aloe Vera plant (Albarin). Her choice was to take the high road of hopefulness and leave her North Carolina home to go to St. Petersburg accompanied by her mother and brother. The cheerful atmosphere inside the alternative Florida clinic, in the face of the life-threatening illnesses being treated there, impressed them from day one. The positive attitudes of both the staff and the patients kept Sybil's spirits high. She was comfortable and happy during the natural therapy without the devastating side effects of chemo. The non-invasive formula has proved successful for many cancer patients. Her choice was the best of her options. Sybil's Choice is the unforgettable story of Sybil's quest to find a cure for her cancer.
