Most modern systems talk constantly and decide rarely.Meetings stretch on. Processes multiply. Standards soften. Responsibility is shared until it disappears. Nothing is overtly broken, yet very little works the way it should. Work feels endless. Relationships feel unresolved. Institutions feel careful but ineffective.Please Decide Something explains why.This book is not about motivation, leadership tricks, or personal productivity. It is a clear-eyed diagnosis of how modern life quietly replaced obligation with discussion and accountability with process. In trying to avoid conflict, discomfort, and blame, many systems have made decision-making optional. The result is a culture that feels polite, inclusive, and humane on the surface, while producing confusion, exhaustion, and stalled outcomes underneath.Calvin R. Beckett examines how good intentions reshape organizations, workplaces, and relationships in ways that erode clarity and trust. He shows how consensus slows action, how flexibility becomes unfairness, and why accountability without consequence turns into language rather than change. Across work, institutions, and everyday life, the same pattern repeats. When nothing is clearly required, nothing reliably happens.This is not a call for harshness or authoritarian control. It is an explanation of why obligation is not cruelty, but infrastructure. Why decisions matter more than discussion. And why systems that refuse to close loops eventually stop functioning.Written with dry humor and calm precision, Please Decide Something gives language to a frustration many people feel but struggle to name. It does not tell you what to do. It explains what you are already living inside.
