The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F_ck

attention and focus, directing them toward what is most
efficient at making you healthy and happy. Commitment
makes decision-making easier and removes any fear of
missing out; knowing that what you already have is good
enough, why would you ever stress about chasing more,
more, more again? Commitment allows you to focus intently
on a few highly important goals and achieve a greater
degree of success than you otherwise would.
In this way, the rejection of alternatives liberates us—
rejection of what does not align with our most important
values, with our chosen metrics, rejection of the constant
pursuit of breadth without depth.
Yes, breadth of experience is likely necessary and
desirable when you’re young—after all, you have to go out
there and discover what seems worth investing yourself in.
But depth is where the gold is buried. And you have to stay
committed to something and go deep to dig it up. That’s
true in relationships, in a career, in building a great lifestyle
—in everything.
