Built on
Chip Heath & Dan Heath · 2013
Supplies the process: WRAP. Break the narrow either/or with the vanishing options test, ooch with a small experiment, and use 10/10/10 to get distance.
Barry Schwartz · 2016
Supplies why more analysis isn't helping: maximizers end up less satisfied than satisficers. Set criteria, cap the input, and stop at good enough.
