Yes, exactly. Spoiled for choice. Good way of putting it. It can be absolutely paralyzing. And I think in a simpler world, where the choices amount to what to do to put food on the table, there is less despondency and depression. I recall reading about a remote village somewhere that was deemed one of the happiest places on earth. And they had so little. They just hunted, gathered and lived.

Yep, the poorest places seem to be the happiest. also, they tend to have the strongest social networks.
