About Barry Schwartz
Barry Schwartz has been a professor of psychology at Swarthmore College for over 40 years. He's the author of several books, including The Paradox of Choice, in which he argues the abundance of choice in today's western world is actually making us miserable.
His latest book, Why We Work, a TED Books original, dispels the myth that we primarily work to get a paycheck.
