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

Includes bibliographical references.

"Most of us have had this experience: browsing through countless options on Netflix, unable to commit to watching any given movie--and losing so much time skimming reviews and considering trailers that it's too late to watch anything at all. 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 'Infinite Browsing Mode'--swiping through endless dating profiles without committing to a single partner ... 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 'long-haul heroes' who courageously commit themselves to particular places, professions, and causes"--Dust jacket flap.
