Too Much Information

Cass R. Sunstein

Description

Too Much Information by Cass R. Sunstein delves into the psychological and societal impact of excessive information in modern life, questioning whether more data actually leads to better choices. Sunstein explores how information overload can lead to confusion, anxiety, and poor decision-making, especially in matters of public health, personal finance, and privacy. Through insights from psychology and behavioral economics, he argues that not all information is beneficial and that sometimes, withholding certain data can lead to greater well-being. The book raises critical questions about our assumptions on transparency, choice, and the hidden costs of an over-informed society.
