QUIT

by Evan Harris

From quitting while you're ahead to quitting in the clutch, from the lingering quit to burning your bridges, Evan Harris investigates, deconstructs, and celebrates the unsung art of giving up.
The Quit is a reflection on quitting as an art and a handbook for the potential quitter. With style and wit, Evan Harris liberates the quit, transforming it from vice to virtue. She describes notable quitting techniques employed by quitters past and present.

3.5 stars. Not at all what I was expecting. The advice was not very practical, but at least it was entertaining!

This was funny, but I would recommend The Dip by Seth Godin instead. Although The Dip is a business book, I think it asks important questions about your motivations, and helps you decide to whether quitting is the right decision.
