TED演讲选择越多,困惑越多 英文稿

TED演讲选择越多,困惑越多 英文稿

I'm going to talk to you about some stuff that's in this book of mine that I hope will resonate with other things you've already heard, and I'll try to make some connections myself, in case you miss them. I want to start with what I call the "official dogma." The official dogma of what? The official dogma of all western industrial societies. And the official dogma runs like this: if we are interested in maximizing the welfare of our citizens, the way to do that is to maximize individual freedom. The reason for this is both that freedom is in and of itself good, valuable, worthwhile, essential to being human. And because if people have freedom, then each of us can act on our own to do the things that will maximize our welfare, and no one has to decide on our behalf. The way to maximize freedom is to maximize choice.The more choice people have, the more freedom they have, and the more freedom they have, the more welfare they have.This, I think, is so deeply embedded in the water supply that it wouldn't occur to anyone to question it. And it's also deeply embedded in our lives. I'll give you some examples of what modern progress has made possible for us. This is my supermarket. Not such a big one. I want to say just a word about salad dressing. 175 salad dressings in my supermarket, if you don't count the 10 different extra-virgin olive oils and 12 balsamic vinegars you could buy to make a very large number of your own salad dressings, in the off chance that none of the 175 the store has on offer suit you. So this is what the supermarket is like. And then you go to the consumer electronics store to set up a stereo system -- speakers, CD player, tape player, tuner, amplifier. And in this one single consumer electronics store, there are that many stereo systems. We can construct six and a half million different stereo systems out of the components that are on offer in one store.You've got to admit that's a lot of choice. In other domains -- the world of communications. There was a time, when I was a boy, when you could get any kind of telephone service you wanted, as long as it came from Ma Bell. You rented your phone. You didn't buy it. One consequence of that, by the way, is that the phone never broke. And those days are gone. We now have an almost unlimited variety of phones, especially in the world of cell phones. These are cell phones of the future. My favorite is the middle one -- the MP3 player, nose hair trimmer, and creme brulee torch. And if by some chance you haven't seen that in your store yet, you can rest assured that one day soon you will. And what this does is it leads people to walk into their stores asking this question. And do you know what the answer to this question now is? The answer is "No." It is not possible to buy a cell phone that doesn't do too much.So, in other aspects of life that are much more significant than buying things, The same explosion of choice is true. Health care -- it is no longer the case in the United States that you go to the doctor, and the doctor tells you what to do. Instead, you go to the doctor, and the doctor tells you, well, we could do A, or we could do B. A has these benefits, and these risks. B has these benefits, and these risks. What do you want to do? And you say, "Doc, what should I do?" And the doc says, A has these benefits and risks, and B has these benefits and risks. What do you want to do? And you say, "If you were me, Doc, what would you do?" And the doc says, "But I'm not you." And the result is -- we call it "patient autonomy," which makes it sound like a good thing. But what it really is is a shifting of the burden and the responsibility for decision-making from somebody whoknows something -- namely the doctor -- to somebody who knows nothing and is almost certainly sick and thus not in the best shape to be making decisions -- namely the patient.There's enormous marketing of prescription drugs to people like you and me, which, if you think about it, makes no sense at all, since we can't buy them. Why do they market to us if we can't buy them? The answer is that they expect us to call our doctors the next morning and ask prescriptions to be changed. Something as dramatic as our identity has now become a matter of choice, as this slide is meant to indicate. We don't inherit an identity, we get to invent it. And we get to re-invent ourselves as often as we like. And that means that every day when you wake up in the morning, you have to decide what kind of person you want to be. With respect to marriage and family, there was a time when the default assumption that almost everyone had is that you got married as soon as you could, and then you started having kids as soon as you could. The only real choice was who, not when, and not what you did after.Nowadays, everything is very much up for grabs. I teach wonderfully intelligent students, and I assign 20 percent less work than I used to. And it's not because they're less smart, and it's not because they're less diligent. It's because they are preoccupied, asking themselves, "Should I get married or not? Should I get married now? Should I get married later? Should I have kids first, or a career first?" All of these are consuming questions. And they're going to answer these questions, whether or not it means not doing all the work I assign and not getting a good grade in my courses. And indeed they should. These are important questions to answer. Work -- we are blessed, as Carl was pointing out, with the technology that enables us to work every minute of every day from any place on the planet -- except the Randolph Hotel.(Laughter)There is one corner, by the way, that I'm not going to tell anybody about, where the WiFi works. I'm not telling you about it because I want to use it. So what this means, this incredible freedom of choice we have with respect to work, is that we have to make a decision, again and again and again, about whether we should or shouldn't be working. We can go to watch our kid play soccer, and we have our cell phone on one hip, and our Blackberry on our other hip, and our laptop, presumably, on our laps. And even if they're all shut off, every minute that we're watching our kid mutilate a soccer game, we are also asking ourselves, "Should I answer this cell phone call? Should I respond to this email? Should I draft this letter?" And even if the answer to the question is "no," it's certainly going to make the experience of your kid's soccer game very different than it would've been. So everywhere we look, big things and small things, material things and lifestyle things, life is a matter of choice. And the world we used to live in looked like this. That is to say, there were some choices, but not everything was a matter of choice. And the world we now live in looks like this. And the question is, is this good news, or bad news? And the answer is yes.(Laughter)We all know what's good about it, so I'm going to talk about what's bad about it. All of this choice has two effects, two negative effects on people. One effect, paradoxically, is that it producesparalysis, rather than liberation. With so many options to choose from, people find it very difficult to choose at all. I'll give you one very dramatic example of this, a study that was done of investments in voluntary retirement plans. A colleague of mine got access to investment records from Vanguard, the gigantic mutual fund company of about a million employees and about 2,000 different workplaces. And what she found is that for every 10 mutual funds the employer offered, rate of participation went down two percent. You offer 50 funds -- 10 percent fewer employees participate than if you only offer five. Why? Because with 50 funds to choose from, it's so damn hard to decide which fund to choose that you'll just put it off until tomorrow. And then tomorrow, and then tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, and of course tomorrow never comes. Understand that not only does this mean that people are going to have to eat dog food when they retire because they don't have enough money to put away, it also means that making the decision is so hard that they pass up significant matching money from the employer. By not participating, they are passing up as much as 5,000 dollars a year from the employer, who would happily match their contribution. So paralysis is a consequence of having too many choices. And I think it makes the world look like this.(Laughter)You really want to get the decision right if it's for all eternity, right? You don't want to pick the wrong mutual fund, or even the wrong salad dressing. So that's one effect. The second effect is that even if we manage to overcome the paralysis and make a choice, we end up less satisfied with the result of the choice than we would be if we had fewer options to choose from. And there are several reasons for this. One of them is that with a lot of different salad dressings to choose from, if you buy one, and it's not perfect -- and, you know, what salad dressing is? It's easy to imagine that you could have made a different choice that would have been better. And what happens is this imagined alternative induces you to regret the decision you made, and this regret subtracts from the satisfaction you get out of the decision you made, even if it was a good decision. The more options there are, the easier it is to regret anything at all that is disappointing about the option that you chose.Second, what economists call opportunity costs. Dan Gilbert made a big point this morning of talking about how much the way in which we value things depends on what we compare them to. Well, when there are lots of alternatives to consider, it is easy to imagine the attractive features of alternatives that you reject, that make you less satisfied with the alternative that you've chosen. Here's an example. For those of you who aren't New Yorkers, I apologize.(Laughter)But here's what you're supposed to be thinking. Here's this couple on the Hamptons. V ery expensive real estate. Gorgeous beach. Beautiful day. They have it all to themselves. What could be better? "Well, damn it," this guy is thinking, "It's August. Everybody in my Manhattan neighborhood is away. I could be parking right in front of my building." And he spends two weeks nagged by the idea that he is missing the opportunity, day after day, to have a great parking space. Opportunity costs subtract from the satisfaction we get out of what we choose, even when whatwe choose is terrific. And the more options there are to consider, the more attractive features of these options are going to be reflected by us as opportunity costs. Here's another example. Now this cartoon makes a lot of points. It makes points about living in the moment as well, and probably about doing things slowly. But one point it makes is that whenever you're choosing one thing, you're choosing not to do other things. And those other things may have lots of attractive features, and it's going to make what you're doing less attractive.Third: escalation of expectations. This hit me when I went to replace my jeans. I wear jeans almost all the time. And there was a time when jeans came in one flavor, and you bought them, and they fit like crap, and they were incredibly uncomfortable, and if you wore them long enough and washed them enough times, they started to feel OK. So I went to replace my jeans after years and years of wearing these old ones, and I said, "You know, I want a pair of jeans, here's my size." And the shopkeeper said, "Do you want slim fit, easy fit, relaxed fit? You want button fly or zipper fly? You want stonewashed or acid washed? Do you want them distressed? You want boot cut, you want tapered, blah blah blah ..." On and on he went. My jaw dropped, and after I recovered, I said, "I want the kind that used to be the only kind."(Laughter)He had no idea what that was, so I spent an hour trying on all these damn jeans, and I walked out of the store -- truth be told -- with the best fitting jeans I had ever had. I did better. All this choice made it possible for me to do better. But I felt worse. Why? I wrote a whole book to try and explain this to myself. The reason I felt worse is that, with all of these options available, my expectations about how good a pair of jeans should be went up. I had very low expectations. I had no particular expectations when they only came in one flavor. When they came in 100 flavors, damn it, one of them should've been perfect. And what I got was good, but it wasn't perfect. And so I compared what I got to what I expected, and what I got was disappointing in comparison to what I expected. Adding options to people's lives can't help but increase the expectations people have about how good those options will be. And what that's going to produce is less satisfaction with results, even when they're good results. Nobody in the world of marketing knows this. Because if they did, you wouldn't all know what this was about. The truth is more like this.(Laughter)The reason that everything was better back when everything was worse is that when everything was worse, it was actually possible for people to have experiences that were a pleasant surprise. Nowadays, the world we live in -- we affluent, industrialized citizens, with perfection the expectation -- the best you can ever hope for is that stuff is as good as you expect it to be. You will never be pleasantly surprised because your expectations, my expectations, have gone through the roof. The secret to happiness -- this is what you all came for -- the secret to happiness is low expectations.(Laughter)(Applause)I want to say -- just a little autobiographical moment -- that I actually am married to a wife, and she's really quite wonderful. I couldn't have done better. I didn't settle. But settling isn't always such a bad thing. Finally, one consequence of buying a bad-fitting pair of jeans when there is only one kind to buy is that when you are dissatisfied, and you ask why, who's responsible, the answer is clear. The world is responsible. What could you do? When there are hundreds of different styles of jeans available, and you buy one that is disappointing, and you ask why, who's responsible? It is equally clear that the answer to the question is you. You could have done better. With a hundred different kinds of jeans on display, there is no excuse for failure. And so when people make decisions, and even though the results of the decisions are good, they feel disappointed about them, they blame themselves.Clinical depression has exploded in the industrial world in the last generation. I believe a significant -- not the only, but a significant contributor to this explosion of depression, and also suicide, is that people have experiences that are disappointing because their standards are so high. And then when they have to explain these experiences to themselves, they think they're at fault. And so the net result is that we do better in general, objectively, and we feel worse. So let me remind you. This is the official dogma, the one that we all take to be true, and it's all false. It is not true. There's no question that some choice is better than none, but it doesn't follow from that that more choice is better than some choice. There's some magical amount. I don't know what it is. I'm pretty confident that we have long since passed the point where options improve our welfare.Now, as a policy matter -- I'm almost done -- as a policy matter, the thing to think about is this. What enables all of this choice in industrial societies is material affluence. There are lots of places in the world, and we have heard about several of them, where their problem is not that they have too much choice. Their problem is that they have too little. So the stuff I'm talking about is the peculiar problem of modern, affluent, Western societies. And what is so frustrating and infuriating is this: Steve Levitt talked to you yesterday about how these expensive and difficult to install child seats don't help. It's a waste of money. What I'm telling you is that these expensive, complicated choices -- it's not simply that they don't help. They actually hurt. They actually make us worse off.If some of what enables people in our societies to make all of the choices we make were shifted to societies in which people have too few options, not only would those people's lives be improved, but ours would be improved also. This is what economists call a Pareto-improving move. Income redistribution will make everyone better off -- not just poor people -- because of how all this excess choice plagues us. So to conclude. You're supposed to read this cartoon, and, being a sophisticated person, say, "Ah! What does this fish know? You know nothing is possible in this fishbowl." Impoverished imagination, a myopic view of the world -- and that's the way I read it at first. The more I thought about it, however, the more I came to the view that this fish knows something. Because the truth of the matter is that if you shatter the fishbowl so that everything is possible, you don't have freedom. You have paralysis. If you shatter this fishbowl so that everything is possible, you decrease satisfaction. You increase paralysis, and you decrease satisfaction. Everybody needs a fishbowl. This one is almost certainly too limited -- perhaps evenfor the fish, certainly for us. But the absence of some metaphorical fishbowl is a recipe for misery, and, I suspect, disaster. Thank you very much.(Applause)。

TED英语演讲稿:如何让选择更容易简介:面对商场里五花八门的商品,你的选择恐惧症又犯了吗? 美国哥伦比亚大学商学教授sheena iyengar研究如何让你在做选择时更容易。

为了让你的选择省时省力,商家又会有哪些诀窍呢?do you know how many choices you make in a typical day? do you know how many choices you make in typical week? i recently did a survey with over 2,000 americans, and the average number of choices that the typical american reports making is about 70 in a typical day. there was also recently a study done with ceos in which they followed ceos around for a whole week. and these scientists simply documented all the various tasks that these ceos engaged in and how much time they spent engaging in making decisions related to these tasks. and they found that the average ceo engaged in about 139 tasks in a week. each task was made up of many, many, many sub-choices of course. 50 percent of their decisions were made in nine minutes or less. only about 12 percent of the decisions did they make an hour or more of their time. think about your own choices. do you know how many choices make it into your nine minute category versus your one hour category? how well do you think you're doing at managing those choices?today i want to talk about one of the biggest modern day choosing problems that we have, which is the choice overload problem. i want to talk about the problem and some potential solutions. now as i talk about this problem, i'm going to have some questions for you and i'm going to want to know your answers. so when i ask you a question, since i'm blind, only raise your hand if you want to burn off some calories. (laughter) otherwise, when i ask you a question, and if your answer is yes,i'd like you to clap your hands. so for my first question for you today: are you guys ready to hear about the choice overload problem? (applause) thank you.so when i was a graduate student at stanford university, i used to go to this very, very upscale grocery store; at least at that time it was truly upscale. it was a store called draeger's. now this store, it was almost like going to an amusement park. they had 250 different kinds of mustards and vinegars and over 500 different kinds of fruits and vegetables and more than two dozen different kinds of bottled water -- and this was during a time when we actually used to drink tap water. i used to love going to this store, but on one occasion i asked myself, well how come you never buy anything? here's their olive oil aisle. they had over 75 different kinds of olive oil, including those that were in a locked case that came from thousand-year-old olive trees.so i one day decided to pay a visit to the manager, and i asked the manager, "is this model of offering people all this choice really working?" and he pointed to the busloads of tourists that would show up everyday, with cameras ready usually. we decided to do a little experiment, and we picked jam for our experiment. here's their jam aisle. they had 348 different kinds of jam. we set up a little tasting booth right near the entrance of the store. we there put out six different flavors of jam or 24 different flavors of jam, and we looked at two things: first, in which case were people more likely to stop, sample some jam? more people stopped when there were 24, about 60 percent, than when there were six, about 40 percent. the next thing we looked at is in which case were people more likely to buy a jar of jam. now we see the opposite effect. of the people who stopped when there were 24, only three percent of them actually bought a jar of jam. of thepeople who stopped when there were six, well now we saw that 30 percent of them actually bought a jar of jam. now if you do the math, people were at least six times more likely to buy a jar of jam if they encountered six than if they encountered 24.now choosing not to buy a jar of jam is probably good for us -- at least it's good for our waistlines -- but it turns out that this choice overload problem affects us even in very consequential decisions. we choose not to choose, even when it goes against our best self-interests. so now for the topic of today: financial savings. now i'm going to describe to you a study i did with gur huberman, emir kamenica, wei jang where we looked at the retirement savings decisions of nearly a million americans from about 650 plans all in the u.s. and what we looked at was whether the number of fund offerings available in a retirement savings plan, the 401(k) plan, does that affect people's likelihood to save more for tomorrow. and what we found was that indeed there was a correlation. so in these plans, we had about 657 plans that ranged from offering people anywhere from two to 59 different fund offerings. and what we found was that, the more funds offered, indeed, there was less participation rate.so if you look at the extremes, those plans that offered you two funds, participation rates were around in the mid-70s -- still not as high as we want it to be. in those plans that offered nearly 60 funds, participation rates have now dropped to about the 60th percentile. now it turns out that even if you do choose to participate when there are more choices present, even then, it has negative consequences. so for those people who did choose to participate, the more choices available, the more likely people were to completely avoid stocks or equity funds. the more choices available, the more likely they were to put all their moneyin pure money market accounts. now neither of these extreme decisions are the kinds of decisions that any of us would recommend for people when you're considering their future financial well-being.well, over the past decade, we have observed three main negative consequences to offering people more and more choices. they're more likely to delay choosing -- procrastinate even when it goes against their best self-interest. they're more likely to make worse choices -- worse financial choices, medical choices. they're more likely to choose things that make them less satisfied, even when they do objectively better. the main reason for this is because, we might enjoy gazing at those giant walls of mayonnaises, mustards, vinegars, jams, but we can't actually do the math of comparing and contrasting and actually picking from that stunning display. so what i want to propose to you today are four simple techniques -- techniques that we have tested in one way or another in different research venues -- that you can easily apply in your businesses.the first: cut. you've heard it said before, but it's never been more true than today, that less is more. people are always upset when i say, "cut." they're always worried they're going to lose shelf space. but in fact, what we're seeing more and more is that if you are willing to cut, get rid of those extraneous redundant options, well there's an increase in sales, there's a lowering of costs, there is an improvement of the choosing experience. when proctor & gamble went from 26 different kinds of head & shoulders to 15, they saw an increase in sales by 10 percent. when the golden cat corporation got rid of their 10 worst-selling cat litter products, they saw an increase in profits by 87 percent -- a function of both increase in sales and lowering of costs. you know,the average grocery store today offers you 45,000 products. the typical walmart today offers you 100,000 products. but the ninth largest retailer, the ninth biggest retailer in the world today is aldi, and it offers you only 1,400 products -- one kind of canned tomato sauce.now in the financial savings world, i think one of the best examples that has recently come out on how to best manage the choice offerings has actually been something that david laibson was heavily involved in designing, which was the program that they have at harvard. every single harvard employee is now automatically enrolled in a lifecycle fund. for those people who actually want to choose, they're given 20 funds, not 300 or more funds. you know, often, people say, "i don't know how to cut. they're all important choices." and the first thing i do is i ask the employees, "tell me how these choices are different from one another. and if your employees can't tell them apart, neither can your consumers."now before we started our session this afternoon, i had a chat with gary. and gary said that he would be willing to offer people in this audience an all-expenses-paid free vacation to the most beautiful road in the world. here's a description of the road. and i'd like you to read it. and now i'll give you a few seconds to read it and then i want you to clap your hands if you're ready to take gary up on his offer. (light clapping) okay. anybody who's ready to take him up on his offer. is that all? all right, let me show you some more about this. (laughter) you guys knew there was a trick, didn't you. (honk) now who's ready to go on this trip. (applause) (laughter) i think i might have actually heard more hands.all right. now in fact, you had objectively more informationthe first time around than the second time around, but i would venture to guess that you felt that it was more real the second time around. because the pictures made it feel more real to you. which brings me to the second technique for handling the choice overload problem, which is concretization. that in order for people to understand the differences between the choices, they have to be able to understand the consequences associated with each choice, and that the consequences need to be felt in a vivid sort of way, in a very concrete way. why do people spend an average of 15 to 30 percent more when they use an atm card or a credit card as opposed to cash? because it doesn't feel like real money. and it turns out that making it feel more concrete can actually be a very positive tool to use in getting people to save more.so a study that i did with shlomo benartzi and alessandro previtero, we did a study with people at ing -- employees that are all working at ing -- and now these people were all in a session where they're doing enrollment for their 401(k) plan. and during that session, we kept the session exactly the way it used to be, but we added one little thing. the one little thing we added was we asked people to just think about all the positive things that would happen in your life if you saved more. by doing that simple thing, there was an increase in enrollment by 20 percent and there was an increase in the amount of people willing to save or the amount that they were willing to put down into their savings account by four percent.the third technique: categorization. we can handle more categories than we can handle choices. so for example, here's a study we did in a magazine aisle. it turns out that in wegmans grocery stores up and down the northeast corridor, the magazineaisles range anywhere from 331 different kinds of magazines all the way up to 664. but you know what? if i show you 600 magazines and i divide them up into 10 categories, versus i show you 400 magazines and divide them up into 20 categories, you believe that i have given you more choice and a better choosing experience if i gave you the 400 than if i gave you the 600. because the categories tell me how to tell them apart.here are two different jewelry displays. one is called "jazz" and the other one is called "swing." if you think the display on the left is swing and the display on the right is jazz, clap your hands. (light clapping) okay, there's some. if you think the one on the left is jazz and the one on the right is swing, clap your hands. okay, a bit more. now it turns out you're right. the one on the left is jazz and the one on the right is swing, but you know what? this is a highly useless categorization scheme. (laughter) the categories need to say something to the chooser, not the choice-maker. and you often see that problem when it comes down to those long lists of all these funds. who are they actually supposed to be informing?my fourth technique: condition for complexity. it turns out we can actually handle a lot more information than we think we can, we've just got to take it a little easier. we have to gradually increase the complexity. i'm going to show you one example of what i'm talking about. let's take a very, very complicated decision: buying a car. here's a german car manufacturer that gives you the opportunity to completely custom make your car. you've got to make 60 different decisions, completely make up your car. now these decisions vary in the number of choices that they offer per decision. car colors, exterior car colors -- i've got 56 choices. engines, gearshift -- four choices. so now what i'mgoing to do is i'm going to vary the order in which these decisions appear. so half of the customers are going to go from high choice, 56 car colors, to low choice, four gearshifts. the other half of the customers are going to go from low choice, four gearshifts, to 56 car colors, high choice.what am i going to look at? how engaged you are. if you keep hitting the default button per decision, that means you're getting overwhelmed, that means i'm losing you. what you find is the people who go from high choice to low choice, they're hitting that default button over and over and over again. we're losing them. they go from low choice to high choice, they're hanging in there. it's the same information. it's the same number of choices. the only thing that i have done is i have varied the order in which that information is presented. if i start you off easy, i learn how to choose. even though choosing gearshift doesn't tell me anything about my preferences for interior decor, it still prepares me for how to choose. it also gets me excited about this big product that i'm putting together, so i'm more willing to be motivated to be engaged.so let me recap. i have talked about four techniques for mitigating the problem of choice overload -- cut -- get rid of the extraneous alternatives; concretize -- make it real; categorize -- we can handle more categories, less choices; condition for complexity. all of these techniques that i'm describing to you today are designed to help you manage your choices -- better for you, you can use them on yourself, better for the people that you are serving. because i believe that the key to getting the most from choice is to be choosy about choosing. and the more we're able to be choosy about choosing the better we will be able to practice the art of choosing.thank you very much. (applause)。

关于选择的英语演讲稿三篇

关于选择的英语演讲稿三篇

关于选择的英语演讲稿三篇演讲稿一:The Power of ChoiceGood morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today, I want to talk to you about the power of choice.We make choices every day, from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed. Some choices are small and seemingly insignificant, like what to eat for breakfast or what clothes to wear. Other choices are more significant, like what career path to pursue or who to spend our time with.The power of choice lies in the fact that it gives us the ability to shape our own lives. Every choice we make has the potential to change the course of our future. Whether it’s choosing to take a risk and pursue a new opportunity, or choosing to stay in our comfort zone, our choices have a direct impact on the direction our lives take.But sometimes, the power of choice can be overwhelming. With so many options and decisions to make, it can be difficult to know which path to take. We may feel paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice, or we may feel pressured by the expectations of others. In these moments, it’s important to remember that we have the power to choose how we respond to these challenges. We can choose to embrace the uncertainty and take a leap of faith, or we can choose to seek guidance and support from those around us.Ultimately, the power of choice is a reminder that we have the ability to create the life we want for ourselves. We may not always have control over the circumstances we find ourselves in, but we always have the power to choose how we respond to thosecircumstances. By embracing this power, we can take control ofour own destinies and create a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. So I urge you all to embrace the power of choice. Take the time to reflect on the choices you make and the impact they have on your life. And remember that no matter what challenges you may face, you always have the power to choose how you respond. Thank you.演讲稿二:The Art of Decision MakingGood afternoon, everyone. Today, I want to talk to you about theart of decision making.We are faced with decisions every day, both big and small. From choosing what to eat for lunch to deciding on a career path, the decisions we make have a direct impact on our lives. But often, the process of making decisions can be daunting and overwhelming. We may feel paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice or unsure of where to even begin.But the truth is, decision making is an art that can be mastered. It’s about more than just weighing the pros and cons or following our instincts. It’s about understanding our values, priorities, and goals, and using them as a guide to make choices that align withour true selves.One key aspect of mastering the art of decision making is learningto trust ourselves. We are often bombarded with outside opinions and expectations, which can cloud our judgment and lead us astray. But by learning to trust our instincts and intuition, we can make decisions that are true to who we are and what we want for ourselves.Another important aspect of decision making is being open to new possibilities. Sometimes, the best choices are not the most obvious ones. By being open to new ideas and perspectives, we can expand our options and make decisions that are truly in our best interest.Finally, the art of decision making is about taking ownership of our choices. It’s about recognizing that we have the power to shape our own destinies and create the lives we want for ourselves. By taking responsibility for our decisions, we can learn from our mistakes and grow as individuals.So I urge you all to embrace the art of decision making. Take the time to reflect on the choices you make and the impact they have on your life. And remember that no matter what challenges you may face, you always have the power to choose how you respond. Thank you.演讲稿三:The Freedom of ChoiceGood evening, everyone. Today, I want to talk to you about the freedom of choice.We live in a world where we are constantly bombarded with choices. From the products we buy to the people we surround ourselves with, we are faced with an endless array of options every day. But with this freedom of choice comes a great responsibility. We have the power to shape our own destinies, but we must also be mindful of the impact our choices have on ourselves and those around us.The freedom of choice is a privilege that not everyone in the world has. Many people are denied the basic rights and freedoms that we often take for granted. But with this privilege comes theresponsibility to use it wisely. We must use our freedom of choice to create a world that is just, inclusive, and equitable for all.But sometimes, the freedom of choice can be overwhelming. We may feel paralyzed by the sheer number of options available to us, or we may feel pressured by the expectations of others. In these moments, it’s important to remember that we have the power to choose how we respond to these challenges. We can choose to embrace the uncertainty and take a leap of faith, or we can choose to seek guidance and support from those around us.Ultimately, the freedom of choice is a reminder that we have the ability to create the life we want for ourselves. We may not always have control over the circumstances we find ourselves in, but we always have the power to choose how we respond to those circumstances. By embracing this power, we can take control of our own destinies and create a life that is meaningful and fulfilling. So I urge you all to embrace the freedom of choice. Take the time to reflect on the choices you make and the impact they have on your life. And remember that no matter what challenges you may face, you always have the power to choose how you respond. Thank you.。

TED英语演讲稿:如何让选择更容易

TED英语演讲稿:如何让选择更容易

TED英语演讲稿:如何让选择更容易Good afternoon everyone,As we all know, making choices is an essential part of our daily lives. From the moment we wake up until we go to bed at night, we make countless decisions, ranging from what to wear to what to eat for dinner. However, sometimes making decisions can be a daunting task, and we find ourselves struggling to come to a conclusion.This is where I come in. Today, I am going to talk about how we can make the process of decision-making easier and more efficient.Firstly, let us understand why decision-making can be so difficult. One of the primary reasons is the fear of making the wrong choice. We are often afraid of the consequences of our decisions, which can lead to anxiety and stress. Another reason is the abundance of choices available to us. With the rise of technology, the internet, and e-commerce platforms, we are presented with an overwhelming number of options, making it challenging to pick just one.So, how can we overcome these obstacles and make the decision-making process more accessible? Here are some tips to get you started:1. Identify Your PrioritiesThe first step to making a decision is to identify what is most important to you. This will help you narrow down your options andmake an informed choice. Think about what you want to achieve, your values, and what matters most to you.2. Gather InformationOnce you have identified your priorities, gather as much information as you can about your options. Whether it is a new car, a vacation spot, or a career path, research about the various options available to you. The internet is an excellent resource, but don't stop there. Talk to people who have experience in the field or have gone through a similar decision-making process.3. Use the Pros and Cons MethodMake a list of the pros and cons of each option. This will help you weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each choice. It is best to be as objective as possible and consider the potential outcomes of each option.4. Give Yourself a DeadlineGiving yourself a deadline can help you make a decision quickly and avoid overthinking. This will also prevent you from getting stuck in the decision-making process and help you move forward.5. Trust YourselfRemember, you are the best judge of what is right for you. Trust your instincts and make a decision based on what feels right. Don't worry too much about making the perfect choice. It's okay to makemistakes and learn from them.In conclusion, decision-making is a skill that can be developed over time. By following these tips, you can make the process of making choices more manageable and efficient. Remember, making decisions is a part of life, and we should not shy away from it. Embrace the process, trust yourself, and enjoy the journey. Thank you, and have a great day!。

善用机遇:TED英语演讲稿告诉你如何抓住机会

善用机遇:TED英语演讲稿告诉你如何抓住机会

善用机遇:TED英语演讲稿告诉你如何抓住机会Good afternoon, everyone.Today, I'd like to share with you some insights on how to make the most of your opportunities in life. And there's no better source for this wisdom than the TED talks.For those of you who aren't familiar with it, TED is a non-profit organization that brings together some of the world's greatest thinkers and doers to share their ideas and experiences with the world.So, let's dive right in and see what the TED speakers have to say about seizing the day.First, we have Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of the bestselling book "Eat, Pray, Love." In her TED talk, she explains how she had to overcome her fear of failure and rejection in order to pursue her dream of becoming a writer.Gilbert acknowledges that most people are afraid to go after what they want, especially if it means stepping outsidetheir comfort zone. But she argues that we must take risks if we want to achieve greatness."Creative careers," she says, "are filled with rejection and uncertainty, but we have to keep showing up and doing the work anyway. Because the only way to find out if we are good enough is to keep trying."Next up, we have Angela Lee Duckworth, a psychologist who has studied what makes people successful. She found that talent and intelligence account for only a small part of why some people succeed while others fail.Instead, she concludes that it's "grit" 鈥?the ability to persevere in the face of adversity 鈥?that separates winners from losers."Nobody is born with grit," Duckworth says. "It's a skill that we develop over time through practice and hard work. And it's something that we can cultivate in ourselves and in others."So, what can you do to become more "gritty"? Duckworth suggests setting long-term goals, breaking them down intosmaller, more manageable tasks, and then sticking to them even when things get tough.Finally, we have Simon Sinek, a leadership expert who has studied what makes some companies and organizations more successful than others. He argues that it's not just about having a great product or service, but rather, having a clear sense of purpose and direction."Leaders inspire people to take action," says Sinek. "They don't just tell people what to do, they tell them why they should do it."In other words, if you want to be successful in life, you need to have a vision and a mission that you believe in. And you need to be able to communicate that vision to others so that they can join you on your journey.So, there you have it 鈥?the wisdom of some of theworld's greatest thinkers on how to make the most of your opportunities in life. Whether it's overcoming fear and rejection, developing grit and perseverance, or having aclear sense of purpose and direction, these are the key ingredients to success.Of course, the road to success is never easy, and there will be setbacks and failures along the way. But if you can learn from these experiences, stay true to your vision, and keep pushing forward, you will ultimately achieve your goals.So, go out there and seize the day. And remember 鈥?when the opportunity knocks, make sure you answer the door. Thank you.。

Ted英语演讲稿:Be an Opportunity Maker

Ted英语演讲稿:Be an Opportunity Maker

Ted英语演讲稿:Be an Opportunity Maker Ladies and gentlemen,Good evening! Today, I stand before you to share a thought-provoking idea: Be an Opportunity Maker. In our fast-paced world, it is easy to often feel overwhelmed and limited by the circumstances we find ourselves in. However, I believe that we are not passive victims of destiny but active creators of our own opportunities.Opportunities are not handed to us on a silver platter. They are not waiting for us to stumble upon them. Opportunities are created, discovered, and nurtured through our own actions and mindset. We must be proactive in seeking them out and brave enough to seize them when they come knocking.To be an Opportunity Maker means to possess an entrepreneurial spirit, regardless of our profession or background. It is the willingness to take risks, to step outside of our comfort zones, and to challenge the status quo. We must develop a mindset that embraces change and sees setbacks as learning experiences rather than failures.Opportunity Makers understand that success is not a solitary journey. They actively seek collaborations, partnerships, and connections. They recognize that by working together, we can achieve far greater outcomes than we could ever achieve alone. As the saying goes, \。

如何提升选择权的英语作文

如何提升选择权的英语作文We are faced with all kinds of choices every day, from what to eat for lunch today to whether to break up with our partner or leave the job. Some people make the right choices efficiently, while many others can shake the habit of indecision.Why can you get rid of the habit of indecision? When we think about it, we find that there are several reasons. First, cognitive, everything like the pursuit of perfection, and second, habit, always put off until thelast second.So what can you do to improve your decision-making and avoid entanglement? First, learn to manage expectations and improve decision-making efficiency. In many cases, the reason for the delay in making a decision is because the expectations can not be judged, resulting in the final dare not to make a choice. Second, to break the narrow-minded, rich decision-making options. Narrow-mindedness means that we often confine ourselves to a narrow, narrow range, without thinking about the possibilities beyond that range of options. Third, lengthen the time horizon, reduce decision anxiety. The fear of making a decision, sometimesstemming from a lack of confidence, and the fear of not living up to your expectations after making a decision, can also reduce your willingness to make a decision.In our daily life, we often hear the words “Whatever”, “All right” and so on, the entanglement disorder seems to be the terminal illness of many people. In the face of such a struggle, not only the anxiety will affect you, the habit of indecision will let you miss more opportunities. Sometimes your decision is more important than your effort.我们每天其实都面临各种各样的选择,小到今天中午吃什么,大到要不要跟恋人分手,或者要不要离职。

Ted英语演讲稿:Be an Opportunity Maker

Ted英语演讲稿:Be an Opportunity Maker

Ted英语演讲稿:Be an Opportunity Maker Ladies and gentlemen,Today, I stand before you to emphasize the importance of being an opportunity maker. In a world filled with uncertainties and challenges, it is more crucial than ever to possess the ability to create opportunities for ourselves and for others. So, let us take a moment to reflect on what it means to be an opportunity maker.Firstly, being an opportunity maker means taking initiative. It means being proactive and not waiting for things to happen. Instead, we should actively seek out opportunities and take the necessary steps to make them a reality. It requires a mindset that embraces change and sees possibilities where others may see only obstacles.Secondly, being an opportunity maker means being open-minded. It means being willing to step outside of our comfort zones and explore new ideas and perspectives. By doing so, we enhance our creativity and problem-solving skills, enabling us to identify opportunities that others may overlook. It is through this open-mindedness that we uncover innovative solutions and embrace the unknown.Furthermore, being an opportunity maker means being a catalyst for change. It means recognizing the power we have to make a difference in the lives of others. Whether it is through mentorship, volunteering, or simply lending a helping hand, we can create opportunities for those around us to succeed. By fostering a supportive and inclusive environment, we empower others to reach their full potential.Lastly, being an opportunity maker means taking risks. It means being bold and fearless in the face of uncertainty. We must be willing to step outside of our comfort zones and embrace the possibility of failure. For it is often through failure that we learn and grow the most. By taking calculated risks, we expand our horizons and create opportunities for personal and professional growth.In conclusion, being an opportunity maker is not just about taking advantage of opportunities that come our way. It is about actively creating opportunities for ourselves and for others. In a world that is constantly changing and evolving, our ability to adapt and seize opportunities is what sets us apart. So, let us embrace the mindset of an opportunity maker and be the catalysts for positive change in our lives and in the lives of others.Thank you.。

现在是该立刻起床,还是再赖床十分钟?等一下要吃豆浆蛋饼,还是便利商店的饭团?在民主社会的观念下,人人都有选择的权利,但这些看似自由的选择,真的是我们发自内心的决定吗?又或是在背后有哪些无形的因素在「控制」我们「自由」的选择呢?以下来听听「选择专家」Sheena Iyengar谈选择背后的真相!选择的艺术丨Sheena Iyengar选择与文化背后的假设先从发生于日本的故事说起,不同的文化特色是否也是导致选则不同的因素之一?Sheena Iyengar在京都的餐厅点了一杯「加糖绿茶」,过了一会儿,服务生便告知「本店没有糖!」而后她改点了一杯咖啡,这时在咖啡的托盘上,则稳稳的躺了两包糖!是么原因导致行为的转变?Sheena Iyengar说到,在他们「选择」的基础上即存在根本性的差异,美国人认为,当顾客付费并提出合理的要求时,他便有权力让这项要求得到满足;反之在日本人的观念下,喝茶加糖是完全颠覆想像的做法,他们则应该保护那些没有做出最好决定的顾客!在众多的选择中,Sheena Iyengar认为这些想法都是建立在某种既定的假设之下,而这些假设在不同地区,不同国家或文化之下却不一定成立!她指出美国人对选择的三大假设并分别对其做出实验:1.自己为自己做选择2.越多的选择能让你做出越好的决定3.永远别向选择说不1.为自己做选择在第一项假设中,Sheena Iyengar把7到9岁的英裔及亚裔儿童分别分成三组带进实验室,并出了六大主题的字谜:第一组能够自由选择自己的题目并挑选作答的麦克笔颜色,第二组则是选择哪种题目就要用和它相应颜色的麦克笔,第三组则被告知,要做的题目和要用的麦克笔都已经被妈妈决定好了!而最后的结果显示,英裔的儿童在能自由选择的状态下答出最多的字谜,反之亚裔的儿童则在被告知所有选择之下做出最佳的表现!Sheena Iyengar指出,这些亚裔孩子做选择的基础点并不是「自己的本质」,而是建立在他们所尊重或信任的人身上。

ted时间管理在于选择

ted时间管理在于选择

TED时间管理在于选择时间管理是现代社会中一项关键的技能,能够帮助我们在有限的时间内高效地完成工作、实现目标。

TED演讲《时间管理在于选择》提供了一些有关如何管理时间的宝贵观点和策略。

本文将介绍这次演讲的核心内容,为读者提供有关时间管理的实用建议。

选择你的优先级首先,TED演讲者指出,时间管理的核心在于选择。

我们每天面对无数个任务和选择,而决定我们如何分配时间和精力的决策将直接影响我们的效率和成就。

因此,了解如何选择和设置优先级至关重要。

既然时间是有限的资源,我们应该明确自己的目标和价值观,并基于这些进行选择。

确定哪些任务对于我们的个人和职业发展最重要,并将其优先级调整到最高,这样我们才能更好地管理时间。

消除时间浪费在演讲中,演讲者提到了一种“时间浪费的代价”,即花费时间在与我们的目标和价值观不相关的事情上。

这种时间浪费可能来自于社交媒体的滥用、无意义的会议、缺乏清晰的目标和计划等。

为了更好地管理时间,我们需要识别并消除这些时间浪费的元素。

这可能意味着限制社交媒体使用时间,优化会议安排,制定明确的目标和计划等。

通过减少时间浪费,我们可以释放更多时间和精力用于关键任务上。

专注力管理在演讲中,专注力管理也被视为时间管理的重要组成部分。

我们经常发现自己被各种干扰所迷惑,从而分散了注意力,降低了效率。

一种有效的方法是采用番茄工作法或时间块技巧来管理注意力。

番茄工作法将我们的工作时间划分为25分钟的番茄时间段,每个番茄时间段后面跟着5分钟的休息时间。

这种时间管理方法可以让我们集中精力、保持高效。

另一个方法是使用时间块技巧,即将一天分为不同的时间块,并在每个时间块内专注于特定的任务。

这种方法可以帮助我们避免多任务处理,提高任务完成效率。

说“不”在演讲中,演讲者提到了一个重要的观点,那就是学会说“不”。

我们常常感到自己的时间被分散和占用,这是因为我们经常接受其他人的请求和任务。

然而,如果我们真的想有效地管理时间,我们需要学会拒绝那些不对我们的目标和价值观有益的事情。

TED英语演讲稿:如何让选择更容易简介:面对商场里五花八门的商品,你的选择恐惧症又犯了吗? 美国哥伦比亚大学商学教授sheena iyengar 研究如何让你在做选择时更容易。

为了让你的选择省时省力,商家又会有哪些诀窍呢?do you know how many choices you make in a typical day? do you know how many choices you make in typical week?i recently did a survey with over 2,000 americans, and the average number of choices that the typical american reports making is about 70 in a typical day. there was alsorecently a study done with ceos in which they followed ceos around for a whole week. and these scientists simply documented all the various tasks that these ceos engaged in and how much time they spent engaging in making decisions related to these tasks. and they found that the average ceo engaged in about 139 tasks in a week. each task was made up of many, many, many sub-choices of course. 50 percent of their decisions were made in nine minutes or less. only about 12 percent of the decisions did they make an hour or more of their time. think about your own choices. do youknow how many choices make it into your nine minute category versus your one hour category? how well do you think you're doing at managing those choices?today i want to talk about one of the biggest modern day choosing problems that we have, which is the choice overload problem. i want to talk about the problem and some potential solutions. now as i talk about this problem, i'm going to have some questions for you and i'm going to want to know your answers. so when i ask you a question, since i'm blind, only raise your hand if you want to burn off some calories. (laughter) otherwise, when i ask you a question, and if your answer is yes, i'd like you to clap your hands. so for my first question for you today: are you guys ready to hear about the choice overload problem? (applause) thank you.so when i was a graduate student at stanford university, i used to go to this very, very upscale grocery store; at least at that time it was truly upscale. it was a store called draeger's. now this store, it was almost like going to an amusement park. they had 250 different kinds ofmustards and vinegars and over 500 different kinds offruits and vegetables and more than two dozen different kinds of bottled water -- andthis was during a time when we actually used to drink tap water. i used to love going to this store, but on one occasion i asked myself, well how come you never buy anything? here's their olive oil aisle. they had over 75 different kinds of olive oil, including those that were in a locked case that came from thousand-year-old olive trees.so i one day decided to pay a visit to the manager, and i asked the manager, "is this model of offering people all this choice really working?" and he pointed to the busloads of tourists that would show up everyday, with cameras ready usually. we decided to do a little experiment, and we picked jam for our experiment. here's their jam aisle. they had 348 different kinds of jam. we set up a little tasting booth right near the entrance of the store. we there put out six different flavors of jam or 24 different flavors of jam, and we looked at two things: first, in which case were people more likely to stop,sample some jam? more people stopped when there were 24, about 60 percent, than when there were six, about 40 percent. the next thing we looked at is in which case were people more likely tobuy a jar of jam. now we see the opposite effect. of the people who stopped when there were 24, only three percent of them actually bought a jar of jam. of the people who stopped when there were six, well now we saw that 30 percent of them actually bought a jar of jam. now if you do the math, people were at least six times more likely to buy a jar of jam if they encountered six than if they encountered 24.now choosing not to buy a jar of jam is probably good for us -- at least it's good for our waistlines -- but it turns out that this choice overload problem affects us even in very consequential decisions. we choose not to choose, even when it goes against our best self-interests. so now for the topic of today: financial savings. now i'm going to describe to you a study i did with gur huberman, emir kamenica, wei jang where we looked at the retirementsavings decisions of nearly a million americans from about 650 plans all in the and what we looked at was whether the number of fund offerings available in a retirement savings plan, the 401(k) plan, does that affect people's likelihood to save more for tomorrow. and what we found was that indeed there was a correlation. so in these plans, we had about 657 plans that ranged from offering people anywhere from two to 59 different fund offerings. and what we found was that, the more funds offered, indeed, there was less participation rate.so if you look at the extremes, those plans that offered you two funds, participation rates were around in the mid-70s -- still not as high as we want it to be. in those plans that offered nearly 60 funds, participation rates have now dropped to about the 60th percentile. now it turns out that even if you do choose to participate when there are more choices present, even then, it has negative consequences. so for those people who did choose to participate, the more choices available, the more likely people were to completely avoid stocks or equity funds. themore choices available, the more likely they were to putall their money in pure money market accounts. now neither of these extreme decisions are the kinds of decisions that any of us would recommend for people when you're considering their future financial well-being.well, over the past decade, we have observed threemain negative consequences to offering people more and more choices. they're more likely to delay choosing --procrastinate even when it goes against their bestself-interest. they're more likely to make worsechoices -- worse financial choices, medical choices. they're more likely to choose things that make them less satisfied, even when they do objectively better. the main reason for this is because, we might enjoy gazing at those giant walls of mayonnaises, mustards, vinegars, jams, but we can't actually do the math of comparing and contrasting and actually picking from that stunning display. so what i want to propose to you today are four simple techniques -- techniques that we have tested in one way or another in different research venues -- that you can easily apply inyour businesses.the first: cut. you've heard it said before, butit's never been more true than today, that less is more. people are always upset when i say, "cut." they're always worried they're going to lose shelf space. but in fact, what we're seeing more and more is that if you are willing to cut, get rid of those extraneous redundant options, well there's an increase in sales,there's a lowering of costs, there is an improvementof the choosing experience. when proctor & gamble went from 26 different kinds of head & shoulders to 15, they saw an increase in sales by 10 percent. when the golden cat corporation got rid of their 10 worst-selling cat litter products, they saw an increase in profits by 87 percent -- a function of both increase in sales and lowering of costs. you know, the average grocery store today offers you 45,000 products. the typical walmart today offers you 100,000 products. but the ninth largest retailer, the ninth biggest retailer in the world today is aldi, and it offers you only 1,400 products -- one kind of canned tomato sauce.now in the financial savings world, i think one of the best examples that has recently come out on how to best manage the choice offerings has actually been somethingthat david laibson was heavily involved in designing, which was the program that they have at harvard. every single harvard employee is now automatically enrolled in a lifecycle fund. for those people who actually want to choose, they're given 20 funds, not 300 or more funds. you know, often, peoplesay, "i don't know how to cut. they're all important choices." and the first thing i do is i ask the employees, "tell me how these choices are different from one another. and if your employees can't tell them apart, neither can your consumers."now before we started our session this afternoon, i had a chat with gary. and gary said that he would bewilling to offer people in this audience an all-expenses-paid free vacation to the most beautiful road in the world. here's a description of the road. and i'd like you to read it. and now i'll give you a few seconds to read it and theni want you to clap your hands if you're ready to take gary up on his offer.(light clapping) okay. anybody who's ready to take him up on his offer. is that all? all right, let me show you some more about this. (laughter) you guys knew there was a trick, didn't you. (honk) now who's ready to go on this trip. (applause) (laughter) i think i might have actually heard more hands.all right. now in fact, you had objectively more information the first time around than the second time around, but i would venture to guess that you felt thatit was more real the second time around. because the pictures made it feel more real to you. which brings me to the second technique for handling the choice overload problem, which is concretization. that in order for people to understand the differences between the choices, they have to be able to understand the consequences associated with each choice, and that the consequences need to be felt in a vivid sort of way, in a very concrete way. why do people spend an average of 15 to30 percent more when they use an atm card or a credit card as opposed to cash? because it doesn't feel like real money. and it turns out that making it feel more concrete can actually be a very positive tool to use in getting people to save more.so a study that i did with shlomo benartzi and alessandro previtero, we did a study with people at ing -- employees that are all working at ing -- and now these people were all in a session where they're doing enrollment for their 401(k) plan. and during that session, we kept the session exactly the way it used to be, but we added one little thing. the one little thing we added was we asked people to just think about all the positive things that would happen in your life if you saved more. by doing that simple thing, there was an increase in enrollment by 20 percent and there was an increase in the amount of people willing to save or the amount that they were willing to put down into their savings account by four percent.the third technique: categorization. we can handle more categories than we can handle choices. so for example,here's a study we did in a magazine aisle. it turns outthat in wegmans grocery stores up and down the northeast corridor, the magazine aisles range anywhere from 331 different kinds of magazines all the way up to 664. but you know what? if i show you 600 magazines and i divide them up into 10 categories, versus i show you 400 magazines and divide them up into 20 categories, you believe that i have given you more choice and a better choosing experience if i gave you the 400 than if i gave you the 600. because the categories tell me how to tell them apart.here are two different jewelry displays. one is called "jazz" and the other one is called "swing." if you think the display on the left is swing and thedisplay on the right is jazz, clap your hands. (light clapping) okay, there's some. if you think the one on the left is jazz and the one on the right is swing, clap your hands. okay, a bit more. now it turns out you're right. the one on the left is jazz and the one on the right is swing, but you know what? this is a highly useless categorization scheme. (laughter) the categories need to say something tothe chooser, not the choice-maker. and you often see that problem when it comes down to those long lists of all these funds. who are they actually supposed to be informing?my fourth technique: condition for complexity. itturns out we can actually handle a lot more information than we think we can, we've just got to take it a little easier. we have to gradually increase the complexity. i'm going to show you one example of what i'm talking about.let's take a very, very complicated decision: buying a car. here's a german car manufacturer that gives you the opportunity to completely custom make your car. you've got to make 60 different decisions, completely make up your car. now these decisions vary in the number of choices that they offer per decision.car colors, exterior car colors -- i've got 56 choices. engines, gearshift -- four choices. so now what i'm going to do is i'm going to vary the order in which these decisions appear. so half of the customers are going to go from high choice, 56 car colors, to low choice, four gearshifts. the other half of the customers are going to gofrom low choice, four gearshifts, to 56 car colors, high choice.what am i going to look at? how engaged you are. if you keep hitting the default button per decision, that means you're getting overwhelmed, that means i'm losing you. what you find is the people who go from high choice to low choice, they're hitting that default button over and over and over again. we're losing them. they go from low choice to high choice, they're hanging in there. it's the same information. it's the same number of choices. the only thing that i have done is i have varied the order in which that information is presented. if i start you off easy, i learn how to choose. even though choosing gearshift doesn't tell me anything about my preferences for interior decor, it still prepares me for how to choose. it also gets me excited about this big product that i'm putting together, so i'm more willing to be motivated to be engaged.so let me recap. i have talked about four techniques for mitigating the problem of choice overload -- cut -- getrid of the extraneous alternatives; concretize -- make it real; categorize -- we can handle more categories, less choices; condition for complexity.all of these techniques that i'm describing to you today are designed to help you manage your choices -- better for you, you can use them on yourself, better for the people that you are serving. because i believe that the key to getting the most from choice is to be choosy about choosing. and the more we're able to be choosy about choosing the better we will be able to practice the art of choosing.thank you very much.(applause)TED英语演讲稿:科技如何帮我阅读Ted 英语演讲稿:Be an Opportunity Maker 机会创造者TED英语演讲稿:四种影响我们的声音方式TED英语演讲稿:我们为什么快乐?Ted 英语演讲稿:How I held my breath for 17 minutes 如何憋气17TED英语演讲稿: 如何在社交网络溅起水花TED英语演讲稿:坠机让我学到的三件事TED英语演讲稿:解密爱情与出轨TED英语演讲稿:我们为什么要睡觉TED英语演讲稿:如何跟压力做朋友。
