Social Psychologist Barry Schwartz is an expert on decision making.

In today’s episode, Maya sits down with Barry to unpack why choosing can feel so exhausting, the hidden costs of always trying to find the “best,” and what the rest of us can learn from people who are content with “good enough.” And in case you missed it—Maya’s new book, (00:27:35) “The Other Side of Change,” is officially a bestseller!
