The way we think about work is broken | Barry Schwartz

What role does luck play in your life? | Barry Schwartz
Visit http://TED.com to get our entire library of TED Talks, transcripts, translations, personalized talk recommendations and more.
Chance plays a far bigger role in life than we're willing to admit, says psychologist Barry Schwartz. Of course, working hard and following the rules can get you far -- but the rest could boil down to simple good fortune. Schwartz examines the overlooked link between luck, merit and success, offering an intriguing solution to equalize opportunity -- starting with college admissions.

The Paradox of Choice, Barry Schwartz
Built into the DNA of the U.S. and other western societies is the conviction that freedom of choice is good, and more choice is always better than less. But Barry Schwartz, emeritus professor of psychology at Swarthmore College and visiting professor at Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, argues the opposite, making the case that the abundance of choice in western societies is actually making us miserable. Filmed September 20, 2017.
