About this listen
Modern life seems designed to keep us uncommitted. Commitment is unsexy, uncool, old-fashioned. Why commit to a loving but flawed partner when there are endless romantic options to swipe through on the apps? Why double down on finishing a difficult project when you could be scrolling TikTok, streaming Netflix, or starting a new, more exciting idea? We live in a world of limitless distraction, infinite possibility, a barrage of options and choices always available. So why does it still feel like something is missing?
As a gold medal winning Olympic gymnast and a former NFL pro, husband and wife team Shawn Johnson and Andrew East know a thing or two about committing. And with The Courage to Commit, they’re here to prove just how contrarian committing can be in an age of dopamine-chasing impatience. Through scientific studies and personal stories, Shawn and Andrew show readers why commitment matters, how it works, and the strategies and tactics to get things done—so you can become the type of person who gets that promotion, enjoys a rewarding marriage, and achieves that long-held dream. In short, so you can move beyond fear and find the freedom, meaning, and joy we all crave.
This isn't a book about cold plunges or intermittent fasting or meditation. Instead, The Courage to Commit makes a simple case for sticking with the things that matter. Because in a world of options and distraction, the real rebellion is choosing your hill to die on—and then planting your flag there with gusto.
Critic reviews
“Shawn and Andrew are fire and light. And what I love most about them is that they didn’t stop in the arena of sports. The same commitment that made them champions shows up in their families, their relationships, and the way they live out their calling. I trust them as coaches and guides. You won’t be sorry you picked up this book!”
— Jennie Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Find Your People

— Lewis Howes, New York Times bestselling author and host of The School of Greatness
“The Courage to Commit hits like a reminder that the real win is staying in the moment and building something from where you stand. It turns that restless grass-is-greener feeling into fuel to dig roots, stay, and create your own breakthrough right now.”
— Jordan Chiles, two-time Olympic gymnast and New York Times bestselling author
“In The Courage to Commit, Shawn Johnson and Andrew East show us how to stay in the game even when quitting feels easier. Read this practical, funny, and inspiring book to turn small commitments into lasting change.”
— Arthur C. Brooks, Harvard professor and #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Commitment is a bridge between who we are today and who we’re being called to become. Our friends, Shawn and Andrew, understand that well. The Courage to Commit shows how saying yes to what matters most—over and over and over—can transform your marriage, your family, your faith, and your impact.”
— Tim and Demi Tebow
“Shawn Johnson and Andrew East seem to have been handed the playbook for life at a young age. As a husband, father, business owner, and author, I’m thrilled they’re sharing their secrets to living with unyielding commitment. Commit to reading this and then buckle up for what happens next!”
— Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking
“Shawn Johnson and Andrew East have written a desperately needed call to action for all of us who find ourselves anxious, burned-out, and grasping for avoidant hacks and workarounds. The freedom and joy we are all grinding and striving for is on the other side of worthy commitments, sustained effort and daily practices, and a willingness to persevere. In The Courage to Commit, Johnson and East show you how.”
