In a book borne of 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 âInfinite Browsing Modeââswiping 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 âlong-haul heroesâ who courageously commit themselves to particular places, professions, and causesâwho 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, Davisâs candid and humble words offer a meaningful answer to our modern frustrations and a practical path to joy. 541 $d 20210426. 650 7 $a Psychology / Social Psychology. 650 7 $a Philosophy. 650 7 $a Self-Help / Personal Growth / Happiness. 941 $a 16 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409040558.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314022233.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025012641.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230310013332.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728014805.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20211201010356.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20211130010915.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20211029010311.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20211009012814.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20210918012351.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210902012807.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722065033.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210702015545.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20210601010053.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210520010422.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210507010035.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DB33BB8A7E711EB98937C0F4BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
