Making choices is an integral part of our lives. We like to have the freedom to choose even if that means sub-optimal choices. After making a choice, when someone tells us that our choice was a wise one, we feel reassured. We like to have options and yet when we have a very large number of options we land up feeling less satisfied with what we choose.
