meaning of life. In a world too often defined by a quest for "success" that leaves us
empty, alone, and anxious, Simmons seeks "faithfulness" outdoors with thinkers
and artists from Aristotle to Kierkegaard, Sartre to Anne Lamott, and Kendrick
Lamar to Donovan Woods. Simmons invites us to rethink what it means to make
choices, take risks, be alone and silent while cultivating friendships, and to find our
calling by facing our vulnerability. In the end, Simmons shows that faithfulness is
more than a religious concept. It is about living a life of risk with direction.
