Dedicated : the case for commitment in an age of infinite browsing
(Adult Book)

We browse through countless options on Netflix, unable to commit to watching any given movie-- and losing time skimming reviews and considering trailers. Davis argues that this is the defining characteristic of the moment: keeping our options open. And this culture of restlessness and indecision 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. Weaving together examples from history, personal stories, and applied psychology, Davis offers a meaningful answer to our modern frustrations and a practical path to joy. -- adapted from jacket
