“As writer John Seabrook put it, “This may be the most depressing thing about the casual movement: no clothing is casual anymore.”

In general, I’d say [tag]The Paradox of Choice[/tag]: Why More is Less by Barry Schwarz has been a very interesting read. It addresses all sorts of things related to how we have lots and lots of choice and yet people’s “happiness” (subjective well being, I think they call it) tends to be worse where this is the case.

Also, something I am intrigued by is this peak-end concept, wherein people remember only the peak and the end of an experience and judge accordingly. If something is extremely bad, but ends badly but not as badly as the peak, it will be remembered better than something that was just extremely bad for a shorter duration.

There’s lots of random tidbits like this that seem pretty interesting to me as well.
