Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less, an awesome book that I highly recommend.

“Paralysis is a consequence of having too many choices.”

He gives a more detailed explanation, with discussion of various studies, in his talk at Google in 2006.

    I think my perfect example would be Baskin’ Robbins/ice cream. I say make it 5 choices: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Fudge and Rocky Road. Done.
