The Trouble With Optionality

Optionality is a means to an end, not the end itself. Our obsession with optionality can backfire.

This is choice paralysis. Previous generations didn’t have many options so they stuck together through hard times and made it work. Now, abundance (or its illusion) has led people to feel less satisfied. People are now more anxious about making a choice and less certain that the one they made was correct.
