the example of choosing what to watch in netflix was surprisingly relatable

I think this explains the major issues with dating nowadays

this is why writing is difficult. there are infinitely many ways to phrase things, and so many words to choose from

This is exactly why Søren Kierkegaard said “having too many choice and freedom will certainly lead to depression and uncertainty” 💯

I really appreciate the fact that you end these shorts with the "what can we do about it?" They're both informative and useful

When we make choices we compare our options to find the best one for us. Comparing 6 options is easier than 26. Sometimes it's just too much brain power being taken up and we get overwhelmed/tangled/doubtful/fearful. One thing that helps me with decision paralysis is "scoping out", broadening many specific choices into general categories. So if I have 26 flavors, I'll broaden it to sour, sweet, and savory. Then decide what I'm in the mood for.

I've implemented this on my weight loss journey. Very important concept! Thanks for sharing Ali!

I think this also applies to Smartphone settings. Android is notorious on keep on giving options even in the smallest detail. Which makes harder to customize it and making it convolutive. While Apple gives only what's deemed necessary to customize.

I choose things by necessity. And it works 😀

I love the style of this video! And the content :)

I needed this

Sounds like when my wife tells me we have pot roast for dinner and I respond with yes. After that she starts telling me there’s other options for dinner and I’m like no no no more options 😅

Spot on. It’s easier to choose when there is only few options. I hate when there are so many choices.

bro just unmasked apple's secret marketing strategy ...

Cross off the choices you are not going to choose, the unacceptable ones. That will decrease the dilemma. Then choose between the options that are acceptable. Even if you don't have the best option that was available, you will know you choose it because it was acceptable to you in the first place. Making peace with it will be easier

Very clever tip for sales and marketing ❤

This is perfection. I had the pleasure of reading something similar, and it was an absolute perfection. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

Was struggling with Netflix just now 😭😭😂

I remember watching his Ted talks in college, super interesting

I suffer from this, too many choices!!!

This is one of the reasons I like op (thrift) shopping. There are limited choices.

I have this problem when I go out too eat at new places sometimes. So I'll just ask the waiter or waitress to get me whatever they ate last there lol. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it don't lol

This is so so true for retail stores and restaurants and cafes

This is why most women face decision making paralysis with lots of dresses and nothing to wear...

This concept I learned from the book THE SUBTLE ART OF NOT GIVING F**K

Dude you are on another level. I just subscribed.

Helpful!

To quote Henry ford's " I have any color you want as long it's black

That’s why I am not on tinder

Thank you!

Me: buys multiple jam jars

I'm captivated by every word. I read a book with similar content, and I was completely captivated. "The Art of Meaningful Relationships in the 21st Century" by Leo Flint

Fancy looking Ali today!

I love the conclusions which you say at the end of every shorts.

I watch your shorts videos most of the time and one day my one year old son saw on my side I forgot about him and he started laughing all the time, the way you are explaining the videos, he liked the part where you disappear and come back again when explaining the concepts. 😂😂 thanks for sharing 🙏

Maybe that’s why I don’t like to choose 😂😂

shorts worth watching

That's why I get really anxious at Subway restaurants 🗿

❤❤ absolutely beautiful video. Brother make wonderful content like this

Those hands are flying everywhere

Ali be doing shadow clone jutsu's on all his videos... 😂😂😂😂

This is why when I have too many options I just choose them all. Provided it doesn’t cost too much and all the options are viable.

Users of KZfaq and Netflix experience this paradox.

I'll take the extra choices more Likley to actually get something I'm into that way

Above it are experiences, expensive status items etc etc

He’s telling ya’ll to get off your dating apps.

I think it’s the same as when you get older and you realise you can make your own food or spend money on takeaway, but before as a child you could be content with just Mum’s food

So instead having 24 potential options, have 6 options and choose one partner. Good thinking!

Nice Jacket Ali☺️

When you have one thing, it's either yes or no When you have two things, it's either yes to one, yes to two, no to one, no to two, yes to both, no to both When you have 3 thin-

Great editing!

Thanks!

Oreo needs to take notes. 😂

This literally describes how I picked my college major

This is why I never paint my house. Have you ever seen those paint chip books?

you cut off the part where the fewer choices made them think of their responsibilities (like needs) while the bigger choices made them more conscious of what will they get the most from

We are obviously changing that 😁

Bigi drinks left the group chat😂. They have money than 12 varieties presently.

OK, that explains what happened to IHOP. I miss all the international syrups. That's how our parents introduced us to new flavors as kids. It was an awesome weekend every time! For MANY years now, it's BORING, so we don't go to IHOP anymore. For like 20yrs now! Wow, seems like less. Thanks for this video!

I WANT SOME "CHAMPAGNE JAM !!!"

Reminds me of the pretty patties from spongebob 😂

Check the ted talk by Sheena Iyengar on the same subject

This is why I hate going to ice cream places that have like 20 flavors

classification is the only solution but it takes voluntary thinking so................

These series of shorts suit him much.

This is interesting 😮

Interesting that 6 is close to the chunking unit size

Awesome

Apple is the best example!

If you offered me 24 jams I'd be way more likely to buy. 24?! He must have had some mad jams that I've never heard of. I like novelty in food.

Nice Reel, Keep Doing 👍

You can also eliminate some of the options to make it easier

The genius of Costco

George Carlin was already speaking about this in his 1992 special

Paralysis by analysis

Sir from where you bought the jacket you are wearing

So cool

You just have to take the decision and not look back

what would happen if people know there are more varieties available and that may increase fall can use the strategy to grab additional footfall rather than selling the x sku any thoughts ... ?

Interesting!

Very interesting

im just shocked about the fact there are 24 different jam flavors..

It's Analysis paralysis

I can't watch any movie or TV show on Netflix due to multiple choices

Elizabeth editing these shorts huh? 😂💪🏽

Can someone teach me how to edit videos like this?

Ali qui porte autre chose qu’un t shirt je suis mal à l’aise x)

How do I also get to know abt more studies like this

What keyboard do you use

your shorts are pretty good. what software do you use to create your shorts? Where do you get your images or do you make them yourself?

Apple be like, shhhhh.....🤫

looks like someone watched vsauce mindfield

Moral: buy that flavor of jam which is your favorite

oh thats why most of women said they dont have any clothes when they have wardrobe full of it

Life is Not few Jam Bars. I would definitely, would like More Choices in Life in all Aspects. I just need to know,What really is My Favourite and suitable Option.

That's social security net

The problem of plenty...

Netflix example is so true, I spent 2 hours scrolling through to decide what to watch, but ended up watching nothing then immediately unsubscribe.

Oh great

Wow... no this is wrong. Barry Schwartz wrote about this phenomenon and expanded the theory. But the Jam study was conducted by psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper from Columbia and Stanford University.
