Get Invested: The freedom conundrum: Is freedom a friend or 'faux'?

What does freedom mean to you? How much freedom do you have and enjoy? Freedom, fulfilment and happiness seem to be what we are all chasing – but what does freedom really mean? Freedom for me is having the choice to do what I like, when I like, where I like with who I like. It is about choice. On one hand, we have never had so much freedom of choice. But at the same time, our level of perceived happiness seems to be decreasing and there has never been a higher growth in the incidence of anxiety and depression. So today I want to explore this conundrum in some detail, drawing on Barry Schwartz’s excellent observations and insights from his book ‘The Paradox of Choice – Why More is Less’, and share some strategies on how you can fully enjoy your freedoms without suffering some of the apparent side effects.
