Reddit mentions of The Art of Choosing

estoy leyendo el libro "The art of choosing" de Sheena Iyengar, que menciona: "Recent studies have even found a stronger correlation between parents’ income and their children’s income in the United States than in Western European countries such as Sweden and Germany, showing that success in the United States is based slightly less on effort and more on the circumstances of one’s birth."

I'm actually reading a cool book about how much choice is too much... The Art of Choosing

Not lego related, but has lots of interesting anecdotes and studies related to the psychology, perception and culture of choice.

Look at the references at the end of The Art of Choosing , it's full of experimental/ behavioural papers.
