We have an unprecedented number of options regarding what to\ndo, who to be and how to spend our time. All that choice is wonderful; it is\nalso overwhelming. The irony is that total freedom can be paralyzing, and\nunlimited resources don’t necessarily lead to the biggest breakthroughs. In\nfact, overvaluing complete freedom can be disastrous for everything from\nstarting a company to harnessing creativity to finding personal satisfaction.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDavid Epstein argues that all of us – individuals, businesses, institutions,\neven societies – can benefit from narrowing our options.
