In his book "The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less," Barry Schwartz discusses the concept of how people adapt to pleasure over time. Even though we might not foresee it, this adaptation is a natural process. As we encounter more choices in our lives, our initial excitement can diminish, leading to a sense of disappointment. This phenomenon highlights how an overwhelming abundance of options can complicate our satisfaction.

Schwartz suggests that in a world filled with numerous choices, the pleasure derived from options may not be as fulfilling as one might expect. Instead of enhancing our happiness, an excess of choices could result in frustration and dissatisfaction. Therefore, limiting choices might actually improve our overall sense of contentment and help avoid the paradox of feeling less satisfied in a world of endless possibilities.
