The Status Quo bias is our tendency to choose our current or preferred situation over a different one. It is the behavioural bias that makes us experience the little pulses of fear every time we are about to experience change.
In this blog we explore the Status Quo bias and how it hinders our decision-making.
The Starbuck's Paradox: The problem of too much choice
While it is a common assumption that the variety of options is what attracts people in making a choice, the overabundance of options may sometimes result in negative consequences.

In this blog we explore the consequences of choice overload and how it effects us, as a consumer.
