Sheena Iyengar Quotes

I’m a great believer in the idea of not choosing based on our taste Picture Quote #1

When you’re choosing furniture for your home that’s supposed to express who you are, what you are also saying is you want other people to infer what you want them to infer. What if they see something different? Wouldn’t it be really depressing if you’re trying to be bohemian and instead they see you as Rush Limbaugh? Picture Quote #1

If you have the feeling of choice, if you feel free, you will be better off. And when I say better off I mean that if people feel they have control over their lives, they call in for fewer sick days from work. They have a lesser probability of having a heart attack or stroke. They live longer. They’re happier Picture Quote #1

Life hands us a lot of hard choices, and other people can help us more than we might realize. We often think we should make important decisions using just our own internal resources. What are the pros and cons? What does my gut tell me? But often we have friends and family who know us in ways we don’t know ourselves Picture Quote #1

Being a Sikh meant having to do what Mom and Dad said, and going to temple, and Mom and Dad choosing who I would marry. But going to an American school taught me that I was the one who’s supposed to make those choices Picture Quote #1

Choice is more than picking ‘x’ over ‘y.’ It is a responsibility to separate the meaningful and the uplifting from the trivial and the disheartening. It is the only tool we have that enables us to go from who we are today to who we want to be tomorrow Picture Quote #1

In order to ‘hold fast’ to something, one must allow oneself to be held to something. That commitment may be one of the hardest things to practice in a world of so much choice Picture Quote #1

In America we tell our parents to bring their child home and put him or her in a crib; as they get older, children sleep in they own room not in Mom and Dad’s room. What are we training them for? It’s independence, because that’s what being empowered is all about Picture Quote #1

A clear right answer and the opportunity to change the options? This is the chooser’s dream Picture Quote #1

We make choices and are in turn made by them Picture Quote #1

Now to what...? How we teach people to make choices and the things they’re going to make choices over - that is culturally learned Picture Quote #1

There are times when the presence of more choices can make us choose things that are not good for us. For me the clearest example is that the more retirement fund options a person has, the less likely they are to save for their old age Picture Quote #1

I do think that there are cultural differences in the extent to which we value having more and more choice Picture Quote #1

There is a different attitude about, you know, how much differentiation there needs to be between our options and how many choices do I need to have in order to make a choice Picture Quote #1

Well certainly not having any choice - having your entire life dictated by others Picture Quote #1

The way we frame information for ourselves or for others can make a big difference in how we see and respond to choice. Every time we encounter new information or reexamine old information, we’re influenced by its presentation. We can use framing to our advantage, but sometimes it has a negative impact on the quality of our decisions Picture Quote #1

So gut tells you How do I feel about this right now? It doesn’t tell me how I feel about it tomorrow or even a few minutes from now. It just tells me how I’m feeling right now Picture Quote #1

I pick what are my priorities and I limit those priorities to less than five in my life and really in those particular areas put in the energy to try to make good choices Picture Quote #1

I mean it wasn’t that they sat around thinking oh gosh I needed more choices in my grocery stores the way I had come to think about it as an American growing up Picture Quote #1

When companies try to guess what consumers want, they essentially make the choice for consumers Picture Quote #1

The expansion of choice has become an explosion of choice Picture Quote #1

Choosing is a creative process, one through which we construct our environment, our lives, ourselves Picture Quote #1

The key to getting the most from choice is to be choosy about choosing Picture Quote #1

We have the ability to create choice by altering our interpretations of the world Picture Quote #1

Too many choices can overwhelm us and cause us to not choose at all. For businesses, this means that if they offer us too many choices, we may not buy anything Picture Quote #1

What you see determines how you interpret the world, which in turn influences what you expect of the world and how you expect the story of your life to unfold Picture Quote #1

Consumers presented with six choices on an item were twice as likely to buy as consumers overwhelmed with 24 varieties of the same item Picture Quote #1

What leads us astray is confusing more choices with more control. Because it is not clear that the more choices you have the more in control you feel. We have more choices than we’ve ever had before Picture Quote #1

I could wear makeup today, and one person would say it looks bland, another would say it looks fake, and another might tell me I look really natural. Everyone is convinced their opinion is the truth, and that’s what I struggle against Picture Quote #1

Knowledge should be a public good, and I want my ideas to have as much exposure as possible Picture Quote #1
