The paradox of choice... an oddly theological book

Lately I've been trying to cut back on costs, and one of the ways that I've been working on this is to *gasp* actually try to read all the books already on my bookshelves. (What a crazy idea!)

One of those recently finished was the Paradox of Choice. The author doesn't appear to be Christian, considering for example his comments on religious consumerism. Yet the book seems oddly, or perhaps not so oddly, heavily theological. Take this quotation from p. 235 for example:

11. Learn to love constraints

As the number of choices we face increases, freedom of choice eventually becomes a tyranny of choice. Routines decisions take so much time and attention that it becomes difficult to get through the day. In circumstances like this, we should learn to view limits on the possibilities we faces as liberating not constraining.

Compare to, e.g., Ps. 119:165 (ESV):

Great peace have those who love your law;
nothing can make them stumble.
