I love reading books, I love my readers and therefore I thought I would spend this week giving away/reviewing books.

paradox of choice barry schwartz


Today I am giving away an autographed copy of Paradox of Choice by Barry Schwartz. I interviewed Barry a few weeks ago and it will post that in a few days.

This has been one of the best books I have read in 2006. It really makes you take a different look at the choices you make and how to reduce them to make your life more enjoyable.

To win you have to choose a # between 1 and 100. The person who gets nearst to my # wins. Catch: A friend of yours has to leave the comment for you.

Update: This giveaway ends Wednesday (9/13) at 10am.

    I would like to add that I find the whole get-a-friend-to-enter-you-in-a-contest to be quite compelling.

    Quite compelling, indeed.

    I have been thinking about buying this book for awhile now. Thanks for the review. In addition, I recommend “The Wisdom of Crowds” by James Surowiecki. It is another fascinating book.
