Dedicated: The Case for Commitment in an Age of Infinite Browsing,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A profoundly inspiring and transformative argument that purposeful commitment and civic engagement can be a powerful force in todays age of restlessness and indecision.Most of us have had this experience: browsing through countless options on Netflix, unable to commit to watching any given movieand losing so much time skimming reviews and considering trailers that its too late to watch anything at all. In a book inspired by an idea first articulated in a viral commencement address, Pete Davis argues that this is the defining characteristic of the moment: keeping our options open. We are stuck in Infinite Browsing Modeswiping through endless dating profiles without committing to a single partner, jumping from place to place searching for the next big thing, and refusing to make any decision that might close us off from an even better choice we imagine is just around the corner. This culture of restlessness and indecision, Davis argues, is causing tension in the lives of young people today: We want to keep our options open, and yet we yearn for the purpose, community, and depth that can only come from making deep commitments.In Dedicated, Davis examines this quagmire, as well as the counterculture of committers who have made it to the other side. He shares what we can learn from the longhaul heroes who courageously commit themselves to particular places, professions, and causeswho relinquish the false freedom of an open future in exchange for the deep fulfillment of true dedication. Weaving together examples from history, personal stories, and applied psychology, Daviss insightful without being preachyguide to commitment should be on everyones reading list (Booklist, starred review).
