Maximizers, who carefully consider every option and strive for the best choice, often experience less happiness and increased dissatisfaction. The pursuit of optimal decisions causes regret and decision fatigue, which leads to mental exhaustion. In contrast, satisficers are content with choices that are 'pretty good,' resulting in greater well-being due to less overthinking. While AI provides access to vast information that aids maximizers, it can also contribute to added pressure by presenting too many alternatives, leading to second-guessing and reduced satisfaction with decisions.
