Why Commitment Matters with Pete Davis - Ep 113


Listen Later

Pete Davis is the author of Dedicated: The Case for Commitment in an Age Of Infinite Browsing. His Harvard Law School graduation speech, which served as the cornerstone of the book, has been viewed over 30 million times.  Pete wants you to commit to some thing, some place, and some one outside of yourself. He believes deeply that doing so will not only be good for your community but it will be GOOD FOR YOU. Because in our modern, connect world, it is just too darn easy spend our lives in Infinite Browsing mode, the state of constantly looking for but never quite committing to a place, person, religion, or way of being in the world. Pete argues persuasively that picking a path and staying on it yields deeply meaningful rewards, including purpose, depth, and community.  Pete lives and writes in Falls Church, Virginia where he works on civic projects aimed at deepening American democracy and solidarity. His opinion pieces have appeared in The New York Daily News, The Guardian, Fast Company and more.  Learn more about Pete on his website: https://petedavis.org/ Listen to Paul’s conversation with Barry Schwartz here === ✍️ RATE / REVIEW Crazy Money:  http://ratethispodcast.com/crazyMoney  📸 CONNECT WITH PAUL... >> TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paul_ollinger >> Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/crazymoneypodcast/ >> Facebook (Crazy Money Listeners Group): https://www.facebook.com/groups/446049973036596 About Crazy Money: Unlike traditional personal finance shows, Crazy Money is not about how to make a million bucks, how to beat the stock market, or how to save money by switching credit cards.
