Satisficers […] are those who make a decision or take action once their criteria are met. […] Maximizers […] can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option, so they know they’re making the best possible choice. […] Barry Schwartz argues that satisficers tend to be happier than maximizers. Maximizers must spend a lot more time and energy to reach a decision, and they’re often anxious about whether they are, in fact, making the best choice.
