We are frequently told that the key to success is hard effort, commitment, and countless hours of practise. But, in a fast-changing world, what if the most important talent is understanding when to stick with something and when to abandon it? Quit argues the underappreciated case for quitting and demonstrates how to become an expert at it. Annie Duke (who left a successful poker profession) argues why learning to resign well is often critical to success, drawing on experiences from elite athletes to Everest climbers, comedians to singers. She offers specific tactics for determining whether to abandon a failing company product, a toxic relationship, or a career that isn't taking you where you want to go. You'll learn how to identify the roadblocks to healthy quitting behaviour, such as escalation commitment, the desire for assurance, and the status quo bias, as well as how to use tools such as quitting contracts, flexible goal-setting, and premortems to help you stop cleanly and confidently. Whether you're facing a life-changing business decision, a life-altering personal decision, or simply want to take more control of your life, Quit offers a change toolkit to help you choose the best next move.
