Views :

Has something like this ever happened to you? You bought something. Say a new car. And then you ended up purchasing all sorts of additional things to go inside it. A new car charger for your cell phone, an extra umbrella, a first aid kit, and even a flashlight. You owned your previous car for nearly 7 years and at no point did you feel that any of the previously mentioned items were worth purchasing. And yet, after getting your shiny new car, you found yourself falling into a consumption spiral. Has this ever happened to you? Well, it probably has and there is a name for it – The Diderot Effect. Today’s story talks about the origin of that term and what we can do to avoid it.
