āCompelling,ā (Cal Newport)Ā āLiberating,ā (Amy Dickinson) and āas entertaining as it is importantā (Steven Levitt) āĀ How to Do NothingĀ meetsĀ Think AgainĀ in this lively and inspiring exploration of how quitting is, counterintuitively, the key to success.
"If youāre thinking about quitting a job or leaving a marriage, donātāat least not until you have read this book.Ā Blending scientific research with stories of real-life decisions, Keller showsĀ how quitting can be a powerful way to take control of your life."āJoseph T. Hallinan, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author of Why We Make Mistakes
Simone Biles quit the Olympics. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit The Firm. Millions of people have quit their jobs, seeking happiness and defining success on their own terms. Is it a mistake? As Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Julia Keller found out, itās not. And, in fact, it might even save your life.Ā
Diving into the neuroscience of nopeĀ and the cultural messages that drive our reluctance to throw in the towel, Keller dismantles the myth of perseverance once and for all. Because grit isn't always great. Sticking it out doesn't always pay off. And quitting can be an unexpected act of self-love.
Quitting: A Life Strategy humanely reminds us that, in order to live meaningful, satisfying lives, sometimes we have to say ānoāāfull stop. With Kellerās guidance, readers will learnĀ the art of the quasi quit, see how quitting makes space for key breakthroughs, navigate the relationship between quitting and our public lives, manage quitter's guilt, and more.
As she weavesĀ reportage from the front lines of scientific research, incisive pop culture commentary, and conversations with people who have made profound change in their own lives, Keller gives readers the rationale and confidence they need to pull the plug. Ultimately, quitting becomes a chance to shape our lives without fearāat work, at home, in our relationships, and beyond.Ā
