- You can get "The Paradox Of Choice" book here:
US: amzn.to/35wP0CR
EU: amzn.to/2MX2amp
When we have very little choice, or perhaps even no choice, we are very likely to be unhappy.
But as you gain more options, and you have the ability to choose between them, your happiness increases.
So, obviously having choice is good.
But what's interesting, is as you get more and more options, your happiness doesn't keep increasing.
Instead, counter-intuitively, it decreases.
In fact, having too many options to choose from, can be just as bad, as having no options.
So rather than liberating us and making us happier, having a lot of options does the opposite.
Psychologist Barry Schwartz coined this phenomenon, the paradox of choice.
Because more becomes less.
"His disappointment was immesurable and his day was ruined" I see what you did there
I don’t understand😅

Hehe! Classic sneak in!
I know I will find it in comments

Lessons learned from this video:
1) Reduce options when it's in your hands
2) Lower your expectations a bit so life could surprise you. (Also don't ignore the value of things you already have just because you are focus on what you don't)
3) There is not such thing as the best choice, everything has a postive and a negative side (which bring us to the next lesson)
4) Clarify your priorities before choosing. Your choice will suit you better when you know what you want.
5) Done is better than perfect. To avoid paralysis, remember not choosing is also a choice, and it normally leads you nowhere.
pd: English is not my main language and I wrote it quickly. There are probably some misspellings. Have a good day :)
Thank u
damn, my whole life is being paralyzed with choices...
I always try to take the best choice but in the end it is rly just a mediocre thing which the choice didn't make me that much happy
His first mistake was choosing strawberry over chocolate or vanilla 😬
It's because he didn't solve E=MC2! 😂
Depends if they got strawberry chunks
Exactly what I was gonna say :D
Yup strawberry AND chocolate is a must
chocolate ftw
I searched everywhere, on Instagram, FB, twitter but couldn't find any way to contact you. So glad, you're back. We want new video soon, but first wanna make sure you're fine? What happened to you?
I think the channel got suspended/penalized by YT for a few months because analytics show an abrupt drop in views from January to October.
The kind of content I pay my internet for!

oh, hello... you in here to...
Anjer bang YUI
Just because there’s more out there, doesn’t mean it’ll be better. If it works, I’ll stick with it.
Hmmm, depends on what you're making choices on.
Don't leave exploring more, kudos!
Tell this to my ex gf who wants to explore other men, wasnt happy with 4,9/5 and left me to search for a better option.
Yo every time theres a human example we use Mike. Mike be going through alot in his life. 😂😂😂
😂😂this comment killed me
Respect Mike😂
😂
mine thoughts too haha
Killer😂😂😂
I legit cried (no cap) the day I realized your channel was gone. It feels so good to see you back. Welcome back my friend!
Why his channel was gone? Oh god.his channel is so good why was it even gone
Yea, i thought it was just me. And was unable to find this channel, when i tried searching my history for one of his videos and could find no sign of it or the channel.
And i cam here in the comments just to ask that. Wonder what happened.
I believe he moved to another platform... unfortunately, I forgot where that is
He hasn't posted:(
@@cheesemaster07 I feel like there's more to that. They banned him because he was he was saying in his videos that spending to much time on your phone and social media is bad for you. Which harms the business of the covidian technocrats
Hey I'm Glad your channel is back. A few months ago i tried searching you but couldn't find any thing, i thought you were gone for good.
But UA-cam just recommended this video today . Very happy that this channel is back. 🙏
The greatest thing I got on UA-cam today
The best in 2021 so far thanks
Agreed
Will you continue posting videos? we really want you back, because we love your channel and everything that you post. I always learn something new with this channel. We really miss you, man.
Yes, I'll continue posting. Hopefully there will be a new video before the end of the year :)
Yaaay! looking forward to the new videos! :)
Seriously!! We need knowledge haha
I always say: do it! I watch way to much UA-cam videos, and do not spend that much time being creative, and when I then think I get a lot of ideas, and spend way too much time planning and looking for even better ideas. Then I can't start, and when I then finally start, after some time I feel super good just because I'm doing something that matters more than just planning
!!!THIS!!!
🍷😆 Agreed..!
WHAT???!! It's 100% same as me 😮
Same here.... Are any of you introverted/intuitive dreamers?
@@Piluttatingeling Me :")
My man he's back!!!!!
"Anything in excess even good turns into bad"
so true
that's weird
Yeah you could gain the world but in the end lose your soul, thats what I’m learning in class anyways
@@_Heroar what exactly is a "soul" to you?
Unless it's money :D
THE RETURN OF THE LEGEND
It reminds me, ‘me’ when trying to do everything and ending up with nothing. :) if i’d decrease my choices in life, i’d have a happier carrier...
Maybe that's why minimalism is such a huge thing. Decreasing stuff = being happier.
*Welcome back!* 💜
In business this is called Opportunity cost. More options, more opportunities lost.
@@kriskitt Yes. Opportunity cost is the negative difference (or theoretical loss) whenever one analyzes current return/profit and the higher return/profit if other actions were taken.
If asset A grants 5% a year and you've chosen the asset B which granted 3% a year, you had an opportunity cost of 2% a year by that year.
@Mark H Exactly. College is an investment too, but some ppl tend to think of it like a right, so they don’t care if it’s profitable or not.
@@drjp4212 I think most people understand that college is an incredibly important investment, however, the issue is that it can put them into a *lot* of debt. So despite working hard to get into college in the first place, the student needs to pay a lot and risk the high debt.
Why new videos are not coming?
I think opportunity cost is the difference between the value given by the chosen choice vs the value given by the best alternative
Yay! My favorite self-help UA-cam channel is back!
Great video, I have another suggestion to narrow down too many choices. I used this with my daughter when she was very young and found about six barbie dolls she wanted in the toy store. Instead of trying to decide between all six at once, I had her start with just two and decide between them. Then take the one she picked, add another from the original six and choose between those two, and so on. It didn't take long at all for her to end up with just one, her best choice :)
Finally The channel has been restored :) really missed that channel
Checking in 2022, hoping to see you back with your amazing content.
WHATT, YOU COME BACK? ❤
It would appear so 😄
You're the best!
The rest of the videos should be back by the end of the week
today is october 6, the comment says it says 3 weeks ago
WHY DID YOU REMOVE THE MINI GOALS VIDEO?!?! that video changed my life for the better and I shared it so many times!! And it’s helped everyone I know who has watched it!!! Why?! I need it back! Your videos make my life better so thank you!!
What was the video about?
Please
I want to watch again this video
Yeah, he deleted many videos :(((
Also the video about implementation intentions
@@dcgreatman It was about how we can gamify our life and objectives so that we can track our progress and feel motivated to achieve our targets as we get closer to them and also reward ourselves in such a way that the rewards take us course to our ultimate goals and not deviate us, the way it happens in games.
For eg:- We receive an upgrade on a weapon as a reward when we reach a certain level in a game which helps us progress even further but in real life we do the opposite. We may reward ourselves with a sugary/junk product after exercising but it's counter intuitive to our goal of getting fit.
You are back my friend
This phrase in conclusion of the video, when he says "I hope you get better than yesterday" really makes me inspired. Deffiently helpful chanel
Always hits different!
Dude welcome back , I missed your videos a lot .
I noticed you deleted a few videos. I really liked them. Are you working on them? I would really love to watch them again 🙏 if possible, can you please upload them again.
Thanks for making these videos and making us "better than yesterday"
The best doesn’t really exist. 😳 incredible insight!
Finally He's back !!!!!
This channel is back ❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad you're back, a while ago I was eager to get a help from one of your videos but I didn't find it. The real man is back, eventually!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES THE CHANNEL IS ALIVE AND SO IS ITS OWNER
The king is back! Waiting for new videos🔱
Please come back, we miss you !
Can you please add back the video, see your life as a video game. Watched it a few days ago but needed to comeback to it. Where are some of your video’s?
Glad your channel is back !
Yes
*Actually where is a lot of the videos from this channel???* 🤨
Why you deleted so many of your great videos??? :( Please, put them back. They're SO helpful!!
Dham good to see you are back ❤️
Glad to have you back!! :D
Wow, look who is back. Glad to see your channel online again, bro. So I can now delete BTY podcast channel here on YT :)
My friend who overheard this video said : "Well it seems like Mike suffers from the ability to make decisions. He should've manned up and asked the ice cream seller if he could taste the flavors then make a choice." Hard to argue with that logic.
Except that it is completely impractical - unless Mike was willing to buy all the flavours and discard the ones he did not like. That would work (or not!)
Well, dunno how many flavors of ice cream is in your theoretical experiment, but given 18 flavors in the video, tasting all of them kinda ruins the whole idea of buying yourself a portion.
But yeah, there's a pinch of logic in your friend's words. For one exception: it was just an example. In real life choices are harder and most of the times you can't try them all. Just imagine, that the ice cream vendor said "no".
Your friend doesn't get that ice-creams are a simple metaphor here. If it were a job, for example, would he "man up" and ask the 'seller' to try all of them before committing to one? No! Or if he did he'd run the very real risk of ending up being rejected for all of them for being an entitled dick that no-one would want to work with... Instead, he'd have to woman-up and choose the one best for the circumstances at the time.
@@user-vn9sh6hv8r he does get the metaphor. only that in ice cream shops one can actually ask for a tester lolll. also, don't have to test all flavors. just the ones one's most likely to try. I won't fo sure taste cotton candy ice cream cuz that flavor sucks. boom boom next one
Finally your back mate 🙂
Hi just wondering why did you make some of your videos private. Those are good ones I put it in my favorites to watch every now and then.
Is anyone else not able to find the sleep habits videos from this channel anymore? ("9 habits that improve your sleep" and a similar one about habits that hurt your sleep)
Many videos gone :((
i was so sad the channel was gone, to hear you back make my day
Your playlist is gone...would you put it back online please?
Why have you deleted some of your videos
they are too best, helpful
I'm thinking the same. May be it become so popular that the original article creator gave him a hard time.
Finally the channel is back
Wow... Are you back? Really missed u... Pls don't stop making vdos... Ur vdos helped me a lot... I became a better person because of you. Pls keep doing this.. more videos pls... U r an amazing creater... U add value to many ppls life... Pls never forget that❤️🙏
Looking forward to new vdos❤️
Even me I was so surprised when I couldn't find this original channel anymore, I was searching for it for a long time 😭
He is back........
Hello!? Why did you take the Dopamine Video Game vid down??? That video is massive.
This explains the difference in dating between today and 30 years ago AMAZINGLY.
And also explains why less than 20% of men get laid, with tinder princesses looking only for perfectly ripped 2m in height knight ceos on white steed 😂
glad that channel is back
Please come back with the amazing content that u have given us... U r our inspiration, motivation,❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥
He is backkkkkk!!!
(At least the videos)
It's amazing :'D
@@andymerrett idk
@@andymerrett Better Than Yesterday replied to a comment 2 months ago and he said he is going to post videos and hopefully will post before the end of this year
So happy to see you again
I am so happy the channel is back!
Glad you are back, missed you fella!!
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT YOU ARE BACK
Oh hey! Look who's back in my UA-cam subscriptions list! I didn't know I could automatically resubscribe to a UA-cam channel. I'm glad you're back, this is really a fantastic resource.
Glad you're back 😊
oooooohhhhh my god I waited for this channel for so long did all kind of search , this channel was family , happy to have my family back!! 💖💖🍀🍀
YOUUUUUU AREEEE BACKKKKKKKK FINALLYYYYYYYYYY🥺❤️🥰🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Welcome back!!! I really appreciate your work. All the best!
One of if not my favorite channel on UA-cam. Glad to know you’re back and looking forward to your future videos.
@@andymerrett Actually, UA-cam suspended his account 7+ months ago. Maybe he started doing something else now. But If we request him, he will come back. I love this man.
@@saadil How do you know that his account was suspended?
@@ProductivityGuy- He said this himself on a public portal (Buy me a coffee). I also tried a lot to talk with the copyright owner (who reported the channel to YT). Here i know that the guy from BTY was unaware of the copyright issue. He used a lot of graphics without the permission of the owner. I love and trust BTY. He said everything and apologise to the owner and was ready to pay for any stuff he used, but still the owner reported all of his videos and YT suspended it. But luckily after 6 months+, they unsuspend it (maybe the copyright owner withdrawn it). Thanks to @youtube. Now i request BTY to come back.
Btw i know that you always comment to his videos. so Hi again.
This channel is very knowledgeable!!
Man, so good that you are back! I went crazy looking for your channel in my subscriptions and wasn't able to! Thanks, your content really helps to get more conciseness
Seriously!
Bro its been 11 months !?
same !! Do you know how it channel went deleted ??
Being late is better than never, i will always be waiting fir your vids !
Wasn't this account banned? I am so happy to see this channel back
yea I thought it was
Finally back
Dude, you're FINALLY back. Thank god.
I heard someone say once that the people who succeed the most are the ones who are less afraid of making mistakes and therefore DO more. Even if one does make mistakes, that’s okay -just keep going and learning. I think it was Sir Ken* Robinson who said that young children are the most creative because they aren’t yet afraid of rejection or failure. What a good lesson to remember! Don’t let your perfectionism or other worries hold you back.
The channel is back up! I was so bummed when it disappeared on UA-cam, I'm so glad it's back!!
Hey bro your channel has recovered, isn't it... Thanks a lot again you were one of the reason today i am doing good. Come back bro 💙💙💙💙💙
Yes I’m so happy
@@Heaven_ascended I think soon we can. Isn't 🤔
Wow I was just trying to find you 2 days ago coincidentally and was sad to hear the channel was terminated. Went to clean up my "watch later" list just now to see you're back!
Where are you mate? Have you found a better way to live? Are we not going to get any more motivation from you?
Also, in the next video, please explain what happened to your channel & what you did in the meantime
Went down a Reddit hole he was using a different artists art for his videos and not crediting them and it got flagged.
I wondered the same. I thought it might be copyright related.. I hope this was a good lesson, so that he can keep providing good lessons to us.
@@andymerrett you know that the channel had been down for a long time due to false accusations?
Oh man, you are back. That's great!
Please upload all the videos you removed, I really want to watch them again.
This channel has already taught me more than my school.
Many Videos are missing
Hey! you are back
Nice to have u back bro
My man is back yay😭😭😭
Where r u broo
Heyyy, your videos are amazing!!
Pls come back!!
Please upload a video sir , missing you a lot
Why are you deleting some of your videos? They're life changers!
yeah where is his video about gamification and such?
He can't have too many videos to choose from because of the Paradox of Choice.
@@johne2815 what?
@@yafin2654 He can't have too many videos to choose from, because otherwise people will be overwhelmed looking through his videos and will be less satisfied with the video they chose. I don't think he actually did it for this reason; it was just relevant to the video.
YES! YOU ARE BACK! What happened all those months mate?
True, im curios too
I watched a video abt it and apparently he got strikes for copyright and the artist of the animations got uncontrollably pissed (without thinking to negotiate although I understand why) and made him delete their channel I think
@@senbebe3320 whaaaaat.. Idk if that's true man, sounds too extreme
@@arisnikou04 Bahaha well I’m not too sure myself but I watched a video and that’s what the person said haha so it might not be true
Pls upload again 😭 ur videos or so good
One of the best channels! Great I didn't click unsubscribe in this period!
