發表於 : 週六 9月 01, 2018 11:28 pm
Hello Everyone,
This is Sunny. This time we are going to discuss "Overchoice" and "Expectation." Are you a victim of "the Overchoice Effect?" Or, you are the victim of "No Choice at All" ? We can discuss it from both psychological and economical aspects. See you soon!
Reference Article/Video:
Barry Schwartz: The Paradox of Choice
Nat Ware:Why we're unhappy -- the expectation gap
Session One- "Less is More?"
1. When facing multiple choices, are you tend to be a decisive / indecisive person?
2. Life is full of big moments and big decisions. What's the most difficult decision you've made so far? (Here are some examples)
-Choose a College Major
-Decide on a Career
-Who to Go on a Date With.
-Get Married or Not
-Have Children or Not
-Know When It Is Time To Quit
3. In this video, "Less choices and freedom would make us happier." Do you agree? Share your thought about "too many options, few options, and no options " regarding to marriage, career, and life.
Session Two- "We are the products of our own/other's expectations? "
1. Have you lived up to others' expectation? How to copy with these high expectations? Do you think high expecations can encourgae achievement?
2. "The secret to happiness is low expectations!" What do you think? Do you think you expect too much/less from your (future) spouse?
3. What do you expect of yourself? Why?
4. John Milton wrote, "The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven." What's your opinion? Are you tend to be an optimist, realist, or a pessimist? Why?
