How can you make smart decisions? Do more choices make you happier? What steps can you take to curtail stress when selecting from a sea of options?

Barry Schwartz gives you practical and science-based answers to these questions in this audio series. The author of the seminal bestseller The Paradox of Choice, Dr. Schwartz has spent five decades teaching decision science. Now, this 14-lecture audio course lets you experience the same panache that has wowed Swarthmore College undergraduates and business school students at UC Berkeley and NYU.

Whether you''re buying a birthday gift or making a moral choice, decisions abound in your life. Today there are more options than ever: from cereal brands to career paths. In a world of choices, how can you make informed decisions in your busy life?

Peppered with amusing anecdotes and eye-opening case studies, Dr. Schwartz’s lectures give you the tools to master the art and science of decision making. Synthesizing groundbreaking research with the same keen insight that made The Paradox of Choice a hit, he uses fresh examples that resonate with modern audiences.

Join Dr. Schwartz for an exhilarating discussion of decision-making in matters ranging from public policy to personal finance and professional sports. It might be the best decision you''ll ever make.

This course is part of the Learn25 collection and includes a free PDF study guide.
