Why do we make commitments? Why do we break them? Why does it hurt so much more when others break their commitments to us than when we break our commitments to them? And why do we then make even more commitments-without any assurance that things will work out better the next time around? In "Commitments", an often intimate commentary on human behavior, author Clifford Brody takes you on a personal journey into events of his own life, some deeply wounding, that speak to what commitments are and aren't, and why he is very glad that he made those commitments even when they failed so miserably... ...and why you, too, will be happier doing the same thing. Brody makes a unique point of difference in Commitments by recognizing that needs change over life, that different solutions apply for different stages of life, but that there are core constants that lead to commitments that work. A first of a kind book, Commitments blends elements of the traditional with the creative, along with a not-too-subtle swipe at the core assumption intrinsic to Cognitive Behavior Therapy that people have to "change" their so-called automatic thoughts. To make this point, the author whisks readers back through history, marriages, movies, rock music, Twitter, ice cream, Broadway shows, even computer chips-things that no one would ever believe might fit together in any story. But they do. And that enables Commitments' readers to discover why people actually get ahead not just when commitments succeed but also when they fail, and why it is smart to trust others to deliver on their commitments even when there is no concrete proof that they ever will!
Author Biography
Born and raised in New York City and a long-time resident of Washington, D.C., Clifford Brody has lived the life of an Army officer, U.S. diplomat, C-level entrepreneur, business and marketing consultant to big and small companies alike (including Citibank, HP, and Avon), and husband, father, brother, and uncle. Not all of these jobs, he is quick to admit, worked out quite the way he or anyone else expected. And like many others, he believes, the failures he encountered along the way taught him far more valuable lessons than did any success. Brody has been spotted in his driveway all too often doting over his two aging wannabee-collector BMWs even when it is below freezing outside, probably because they won't start despite his tinkering, or maybe because of it! He also spends a fair amount of time working with Washington D.C. area not-for-profits to advance their missions in improving water resources, childhood education, and health services for the less fortunate.
