Undecided: How to Ditch the Endless Quest for Perfect and Find the Career—and Life—That’s Right for You
Barbara & Shannon Kelley
  - Monday, June 27
  - 7 PM

Barbara & Shannon Kelley will be here to promote their new book Undecided: How to Ditch the Endless Quest for Perfect and Find the Career—and Life—That’s Right for You. In a world of unprecedented opportunity and pressure women are struggling more than ever to make career decisions and move forward without second-guessing themselves. Young women graduate from college and believe they have to find the perfect path and then can’t decide which way to go. Undecided is an invaluable guide to this cultural phenomenon of “analysis paralysis.” Looking at both what the media and academic studies have reported on women, careers, and particularly the undecided phenomenon, as well as personal accounts from numerous women, mother and daughter Barbara and Shannon Kelley discuss how we got to this frustrating place, why it affects women in particular, and how today’s culture fuels our fears and distractions.
