In "The Tyranny of Choice" [April], Barry Schwartz wrote of the challenges inherent in making multitudes of decisions in a modern world. His article resonated with many letter writers. One of the choicest reactions came from Grant Ritchey of Olathe, Kan.: "On the same day I received your magazine with Schwartz's article, I purchased his book The Paradox of Choice. I was faced with a tough choice: Should I begin reading his book or his article? After pondering the matter carefully, I arrived at a decision with which I was satisficed. I immediately read Michael Shermer's great Skeptic column." Want to read more letters about the April issue? It's up to you.
