Does having too many choices make us unhappy? - Highlights - DR. BARRY SCHWARTZ

"Clifford Geertz said that human beings uniquely are unfinished animals. And what he meant by that is that we come into the world with some structure, some constraints, some essential knowledge, but very incomplete. And society completes us. And that is not true of most of the other species in the world. They come into the world a lot closer to being complete than we do."
