| 447a0f0 | How can we unshackle ourselves from this irrational impulse to chase worthless options? In 1941 the philosopher Erich Fromm wrote a book called Escape from Freedom.

We are continually reminded that we can do anything and be anything we want to be. The problem is in living up to this.. | Dan Ariely |
