The Art Of Choosing Iyengar Pdf To Word
At TEDGlobal, she talks about We all want customized experiences and products -- but when faced with 700 options 26 Jul 2010 Sheena Iyengar studies how people choose (and what makes us think we're good at it).

Every day we make choices. Coke or Pepsi? Save or spend? Whether mundane or life-altering, these choices define us and shape our lives. Sheena Iyengar asks the difficult questions about how and why we choose: Is the desire for choice innate or bound by culture? Why do we sometimes choose against our best interests?

Coke or Pepsi? Save or spend? Whether mundane or life-altering, these choices define us and shape our lives. Sheena Iyengar asks the difficult questions about how and why we choose: Is the desire for choice innate or bound by culture?
Why do we sometimes choose against our best interests? How much control do we really have over what we choose? Sheena Iyengar's award-winning research reveals that the answers are surprising and profound. In our world of shifting political and cultural forces, technological revolution, and interconnected commerce, our decisions have far-reaching consequences. Use THE ART OF CHOOSING as your companion and guide for the many challenges ahead.
I had to read this non-fiction book quite slowly, over the course of a month, annoying friends and colleagues by citing Iyengar's studies as they attempted to choose items off a menu, though even this slow pace wasn't long enough to really make the information stick in my brain.

Iyengar presents a rather overwhelming amount of information on her enormous and fascinating topic, mostly in the form of psychology experiments about how people choose things and make decisions both trivial and life or death.these experiments on far-flung subjects are glued together by her own analysis, antecdotes, and musings. So much material was presented on so many aspects of choice that I felt its significance continually slipping from my grasp.
Because of the sheer scope of the topic, and the sometimes contradictory conclusions that the studies showed, it was tricky as a non-psychologist to synthesize the material into a coherent outline. Here are a few lines from the wiki profile of the author Sheena Iyengar was born in Toronto, Canada in 1969. Her parents had emigrated there from Delhi, India....
When Iyengar was three years old, she was diagnosed with a rare form of retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited disease of retinal degeneration.

When Iyengar was three years old, she was diagnosed with a rare form of retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited disease of retinal degeneration. By 6th grade, Iyengar had lost the ability to read, and by 11th grade, she had lost her sight entirely and could only perceive light. Iyengar’s life had also taken another turn in high school; when she was 13, her father died of a heart attack. I found the above fact very intriguing and it played a part in making me finally picking up the book.
The thing that I remember most from the book is a passage where she has written about a general person's personality traits and behaviors. While reading this passage I got the feel as if it has been written exclusively for me and as if she is talking about my very own personality. A little spooky, huh? This will be an extremely eventful ride for everyone especially those who have not already read any of the behavioral gurus like Gladwell, Ariely or Tim Harford. By the time I finished this book I found I wanted to start it all over again. Sometimes I think I may have missed my calling, by not pursuing the field of decision-making. I am so bad at it, and yet I recognize that it is the key to navigating the modern world in the West, where the simplest decisions are rendered ridiculously complex by the plethora of choice.

Sometimes I think I may have missed my calling, by not pursuing the field of decision-making. I am so bad at it, and yet I recognize that it is the key to navigating the modern world in the West, where the simplest decisions are rendered ridiculously complex by the plethora of choice. Iyengar covers the waterfront with her examination of choice, from birth to death, and addresses many of the major life choices most of us face in the course of our lives. She recognizes the difficulties each of us face in choosing colleges, spouses, jobs, houses, and discusses the irrationality many of us bring to our own choices. Several times I felt my heart beating a little faster when she began to describe a difficult choice that was facing me now, or one that I had made in the past, but which has left me unhappy. Iyengar suggests that decision-making can be improved by setting constraints on our options, and sticking with them.
She describes conversations with artists and jazz musicians in which they claim great invention can be achieved when one sets limits on type of creation one seeks to achieve, and operating within a framework. It is too easy to flail about in a sea of options, but if we set limits for ourselves, we narrow our range, and can be satisfied and happy with choices we have made. As art is created by using objects at hand, so good, even great decisions that make us happy can be achieved within our own limited circumstances. After all, isn't it all really about being as happy and satisfied as possible, rather than miserable in the midst of plenty? A good and thoughtful book that moves me forward with hope.
The audio was beautifully read by Orlagh Cassidy. Okay, so I'm probably starting out with a spoiler, but Sheela Iyengar is the person who conducted the jam study--that jam study! In books about choice, this is like being Keith Richards. For those of you unfamiliar, the jam study took place in a super-market: 20 kinds of jams on display to taste, people were less likely to buy a jam than 7 kinds of display. The magic number is 7 + or - 2, not coincidentally like how many items we can keep in our short-term memory.

Iyengar, unlike some other authors in this genre, is a big fan of choice, but points out that we need to manage the ways (and places) that we make choices. Sometimes people are much happier with choice and control (older people in a rest home choosing a plan and then choosing to take care of it live longer), and sometimes people struggle with choice (parents having to decide whether to continue life support for their babies suffer depression under the pressure). Not as well-written, I think, as Paradox, but still a page-turner. If you so choose!

I loved the stories about the survivors and how people underestimate their abilities to endure pressure and struggle, also the big impact religions and faiths have on their followers including positive and negative effects. One 'unique' thing about the book, is the journey of its writer around the world, like India, Spain, Germany, and Japan, I liked the tea and sugar story- that was hilarious. Best thing overall about this book is its psychological and philosophical studies which teach you one thing or two about how people think and interpret others actions or impressions, I learned that its not just about me being awake in a crowd of sheep, I've learned that others also have deep thoughts and complex ideas and choices that vary.
Because both the book and its writer have influenced me in so many ways, touching stories and being an eye-opener for a lot of stuff that happens around us, I learned about what they call 'reactance' in psychology and also our 'right to choose'. I'm not going to spoil it, I'll leave you to read the book for yourself. I came across this book by accident so it wasn't a choice by adding it on my toread list. The more I read, the more it reminded me of a book I read last year; 'Willpower' by mr. Baumeister, and I liked that book a lot.

The only downside I can think of is that it's not a ver practical book; don't expect to learn the '3 rules of thumb to make any choice in life easier'. You will however gain a (little bit of) insight on how choosing works and why we feel good or bad after the choosing process. The sheer scope of the book does make it very difficult to gain an overview on what you've actually read.
After finishing it and taking some notes during my read, I now can safely say that I don't have any clue on what to remember except that it was a very good book. Effectively written: takes the issue of choice from various perspectives, cultural, psychological, evolutionary, and business.

The beginning and the final chapters were the best; the book really takes off after she describes her Menlo Park jam experiment. In general the coolest parts of the book involved her description and distillation of important psychological experiments which involve the subject of choice. One aspect of choice she may consider more deeply is how our morality affects decision-making. She alludes to cases where people must make difficult 'better of two evils' choices but she does not account for choosers' internal thought processes in these cases. In general Iyengar packs in many thinking points over which to ponder. This book discusses some research (by the author and others) about how we make choices, and how having too many choices can lead to difficult decision making. But it's interesting that the author chooses to ignore all the existing research that contradicts the point she is trying to make.
Take for example her 'jam study', where people offered 6 varieties of jam samples were much more likely to buy jam in a store than those offered 24 different samples. The author is well aware that other research This book discusses some research (by the author and others) about how we make choices, and how having too many choices can lead to difficult decision making. But it's interesting that the author chooses to ignore all the existing research that contradicts the point she is trying to make. Take for example her 'jam study', where people offered 6 varieties of jam samples were much more likely to buy jam in a store than those offered 24 different samples. The author is well aware that other researchers have replicated this study and found no effect. There was even a recent paper published with a meta-analysis of about 50 similar studies.
They found many instances where having more options to choose from made decision making easier. But, they also found many studies with the complete opposite conclusion, and in a good number of studies there was no effect at all. The average effect over all of the studies was nearly zero.
It seems to me that the interesting research question would therefore be about what conditions led to the different results of these studies (why are more options better in certain cases, while fewer options are better in others). Even if the author disagrees with those contradictory results, they should have at least been mentioned. Instead, the author specifically states on page 190, without any footnotes or references to research, that other similar studies consistently come up with the same results as the jam study. This is not true. Another thing that bothers me about this book and this type of research is the tendency of some people to interpret these results as an argument in favor of government restriction of choices. The claim is that people will be happier if they have fewer choices, thus the government should either limit our choices directly or redistribute income so that eventually less is produced and we have fewer available options. The author doesn't explicitly advocate this interpretation, though, so I shouldn't blame her for the idiocy of others.
Though I disagreed with some of the conclusions, this was still a thought-provoking book, and I would recommend it to others. What I really learn about Sheena is that she taught me about her excitement and optimism in choosing. She didn't choose blindness, and being blind took many options off the table, but her bodily condition that she didn't choose let her to make the most of what she could choose.

I absolutely loved this book.
The author goes to great lengths to clarify why we make the choices we make. She looks at how we are raised helps influence how we approach decisions, how other influence us in the moment of making a choice, how we really feel about the choices we make and how even when you abstain from making a choice you are still making a choice.

She is looking much deeper than the same make-good-choices mantra constantly being recycled. She speaks more of humanity and how that is always being balanced by instinct. Basically, she doesn't treat you like an idiot and isn't trying to sell you something. She is an academic and wants to present some interesting findings. There is at least one scientific study to go along with each layer of analysis. Most of the studies are with prestigious companies, schools or other institutions.
I am a total sucker for scientific validity, so this helped me swallow some of her more abrasive theories. If you are looking for some solid non fiction, give this one a whirl. Motorola Phone Tools V235 Versa on this page. As the author detailed her social experiments on choice, I kept thinking how fun it would be to do those experiments. Being a social scientist sounds like fun! There's no but -- I still wish I could spend my day thinking of ways to see how people think. I first heard of Sheena Iyengar when I saw her TED talk.

She writes very much as she speaks -- very simply, personally, and engagingly. I was initially a little put off by her personal anecdotes, thinking that they didn't address her issues so much as make her a more sympathetic narrator.
But given that a lot of the experiments in the book are scientists watching the behavior of everyone from little kids to shoppers, it's good to see a little into a scientist's personal life. I liked how she blended in pop culture, history, mythology, and web phenomena to fill out a picture of our world. In our current environment, where we're in thrall to ubiquitous advertising, it's helpful to have someone explaining how the tricks are done. As a developer of a web product, it made me think about how best to engage our audience. There were two or three ideas here which by itself made the book worth it for me.
One was more an examination of how choice is a modeling act, a defining action for our identity. The author uses the analogy of an sculpture in progress (our identity being the unfinished sculpture and choice is a tool to unearth it beneath all the marble of shoulds and shouldnts).

But then, our identity, turns out, is a dynamic process rather than a static sculpture (conditions may change or we may change with time, hopefully as we grow wiser, etc). This presents us with the problem of not only having a plethora of options to choose from (thank you capitalism), there is also many potential selves we could be. This points to the challenge of being ourselves while remaining adaptable, and the conflicts and contradictions we face, and how that can make choosing so hard. The author proposes to strive for consistency at a 'higher level' such as a moral code, ideals, etc.
I found comforting her perspective that choice could be seem as an 'ongoing act of creation' rather than 'an effort to break down what we dont want to be'. There is a lot of interesting facts, information and history revolving around choice and choosing with the corresponding research and experiments to support her views. The problem for me was that most outstanding ideas came early in the book and then it goes to less interesting, more sterile stuff for large sections.
I would've liked to read only some chapters here and there and skip half the book, but didn't know which parts were worthy and which weren't until I read the last chapter. Now, I would recommend to read the last chapter first, which is basically a chapter by chapter in sum, to help you determine if this is what you're looking for, and/or which parts to skip. I'm not so crazy about this book. I feel its reach exceeds its grasp.
First I thought it was the pop-science genre in general, but when I picked up Brian Christian's Most Human Human I couldn't put it down. In comparison The Art of Choosing is sluggish, and sometimes a little out of left field. For example, in a study she did with a grad student, they tracked 'hundreds of graduating college seniors' describing their ideal job over a six to nine month period that it took the subjects to find work I'm not so crazy about this book. I feel its reach exceeds its grasp. First I thought it was the pop-science genre in general, but when I picked up Brian Christian's Most Human Human I couldn't put it down. In comparison The Art of Choosing is sluggish, and sometimes a little out of left field. For example, in a study she did with a grad student, they tracked 'hundreds of graduating college seniors' describing their ideal job over a six to nine month period that it took the subjects to find work: 'each time, we asked them to rank the same 13 attributes of a job, including 'high income,' 'opportunity for advancement,' 'job security,' 'opportunity for creativity,' and 'freedom to make decisions,' from most to least important.'
(This appears on page 99-100, c03, end of section iv.) She doesn't say what it is she was expecting to find, but she does talk about cognitive dissonance and how perceptions of self change retroactively as priorities change over time, as in 'It wasn't just that they couldn't remember their original preferences but that they actively reimagined their past.' I'm still on board here, but she concludes with: 'the more successfully they were able to resolve this conflict, by creating a false but consistent story about their values in the life-defining category of 'career,' the better off they were. [emphasis mine] Those who recalled their past preferences less accurately were happier with the jobs they accepted. These protective illusions prevented them from recognizing their inconsistency, allowing them to choose in accordance with their latest priorities rather than feeling obligated to the ones they had outlined earlier in the process.'
So how exactly does happier with a choice of job equal better off? Maybe it's just a poorly chosen phrase but it's awfully judgmental to just say 'better'. So, those who recalled their past preferences more accurately were less satisfied with their job choice and were ultimately worse off? Doesn't follow.
Is it better because choice is in the name of the book? What about the people who wouldn't cognitively compromise and kept on their original course despite shifting priorities? Who's to say they're haven't made the better choice, sticking it out and following their dreams? This isn't the only time I get this feeling of being led, either. Maybe I'm too skeptical for it, but this is a logical chasm I can't make myself cross. So I'm stopping at page 100 for awhile.
I really enjoyed this book. It is written in the psychology/sociology arena similar to the Malcolm Gladwell style. There were some very interesting studies presented that give the reader insight into the decision making though process.

It felt somewhat abrupt, non-encompassing and didn't clearly translate to me what I can do to improve my decision making process. The author did attempt to do this, but it just didn't hit home for me. My favorite quote from the book: Another way in which greater choice can lead to greater regret is the very fact that it does increase the potential benefits of choosing well, even as it makes the process of choosing more difficult.
When the options are few, we can be happy with what we choose since we are confident that it is the best possible choice for us. Download Lagu Atiek Cb Antara Anyer Dan Jakarta. When the options are practically infinite, though, we believe that the perfect chose for us must be out there somewhere and that it's our responsibility to find it. Choosing can then become a lose-lose situation: If we make a choice quickly without fully exploring the available options, we'll regret potentially missing out on something better; if we do exhaustively consider all the options, we'll expend more effort (which won't necessarily increase the quality of our final choice), and if we discover other good options, we may regret that we can't choose them all. This dilemma can occur for choices from the mundane, like picking a restaurant, to the highly significant, like home to marry or what career to pursue.

We want to make unique choices – as long as they aren’t too unique.

We often feel better when others make choices for us, but only if we are properly informed. Really interesting look at all kinds of choices and how we view choice in our lives.

The author does great in explaining research and how it applies to life, but falls short when she waxes philosophical about global implications of a tiny study. For example, it's hard for me to see how asking someone what they MIGHT do and feel in a situation where they had to make a life-or-death decision about a premature baby shows absolutely what they really would do and how they really would feel.

In this exceedingly eclectic and very readable book, Iyengar discusses the tension between our automatic and reflective mental systems when making decisions. She explores the heuristics and biases present in cultural differences and the coping skills we use to diffuse cognitive dissonance. Iyengar is most famous for the 'jam experiment' where shoppers bought significantly more when faced with a choice of 6 or less types of jam than when overwhelmed by dozens of choices. Iyengar's research promises profound impact on more than just 21st century marketing. Information overload and the complexity of our choices often lead to poor choices &/or dissatisfaction with our choices, yet we seek out the excessive input and zealously protect our freedom to choose.

Her work is regularly cited in periodicals such as the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, Fortune and TIME. Considered one of the world's experts on choice, Sheena has written her own book, The Art of Choosing.
In the book, she explores questions such as why choice is powerful, and where its power comes from; the ways in which people make choices; the relationship between how we choose and who we are; why we are so often disappointed by our choices; how much control we really have over our everyday choices; how we choose when our options are practically unlimited; and whether we should ever let others choose for us, and if so, whom and why.
