Quitting gets a bad rap. It’s what the lazy people do. It’s synonymous with giving up. Winners don’t quit. Except, that’s not really true. This book shakes our perceptions and teaches a hard lesson: according to the research, working hard non-stop and persevering through pain isn’t always the answer to everything. We live in a society that champions perseverance, sweat and tenacity no matter the cost. But what if our relentlessness results in failure, sunken costs and poor health, rather than success, happiness, and vitality? Lindsay Crouse, an award-winning reporter and writer for the New York Times, argues that our society has tricked us into thinking that staying the course is the ultimate achievement, despite the surprising cost to ourselves. She delves into the science of perseverance versus walking away from aspects of our lives, and relays a diverse blend of compelling personal stories, historical examples and psychological insights – from the origins of the self-help genre to the Finnish concept of sisu, resilience. For anyone at a crossroads in their personal or professional lives, The Case for Quitting is a groundbreaking guide that ruptures our core beliefs. Career seekers, athletes, entrepreneurs and anyone exploring new opportunities or feeling stuck in unproductive routines will appreciate its insights on the courage and – importantly – strategy involved in quitting.
