Find out why the happiest, most successful people have the ability both to persist and to quitDo you believe that "winners never quit and quitters never win"?

Good Quit
Quitting is a vital and pervasive phenomenon that shapes our lives. The Good Quit is an enlightening and provocative challenge to the common perceptions around the choice to quit. Rather than offering simplistic how-to advice, scientist-turned-philosopher Jeffrey A. Lockwood makes full use of biological, psychological, and social sciences to unpack what constitutes quitting for the right reasons, at the right time, and in the right way, using both fundamental principles and concrete examples. He explores the full range of ways in which quitting can occur in the human experience, including addictions, careers, diets, games, habits, jobs, politics, relationships, religions, sports, and wars. Masterful quitting contributes to genuine success, but this practice nevertheless has been largely overlooked by scholars, teachers, coaches, and leaders. This book is a three-part exploration. In conceptual terms it asks, Is it really quitting if the decision is reversible, involuntary, or partial? In normative terms, it explores whether quitting must be well-reasoned, -timed, and -enacted to be justifiable. In applicable terms, it emphasizes phronesis, or "practical wisdom," and contributes to the understanding that what constitutes quitting, and doing so well, is vital to making decisions about whether to persevere or abandon difficult ventures. Flourishing is more complex than "grit-or-quit" advocates suggest. To thrive, we must come to know why, when, and how to quit. The Good Quit approaches this topic from an expansive and philosophical point of view, making it valuable for anyone contemplating the what, when, why, and how of quitting.

Case for Quitting
In a world that prizes persistence, acclaimed journalist Lindsay Crouse offers a radical strategy for getting what we want: Quit. 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? An endurance athlete and 15-year veteran of the New York Times, Crouse explores stories from across our lives – work, relationships, and broader goals – to argue that when perseverance turns against us, quitting isn’t just a way out. Often, it’s the first step to something better. A pivot. A break. A chance to go further – or be free. 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 Bear Bryant’s “hell camp” to the Finnish concept of sisu, resilience – to answer such questions as: When is it time to let go of unproductive efforts?How does quitting make new opportunities?When are relationships growing and when are they just a dangerous rut? 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.
