A good read which provides illustrative examples of 'quitting' and why we might be better off doing so. I liked how the book was sectioned and the different perspectives that were brought in to discuss why we should cut our losses (and potential benefits), why it may be difficult to do so, as well as strategies to help us make better decisions. I liked how there was no judgement on both the examples used as well as on the reader.

I heard about this book in multiple author podcasts over the last few months. Though I was able to use some of this insight to get some clarity in my personal life, I was still left wanting just a bit more. I assume that's due to the hype I'd been hearing. Regardless, this book was great and I highly recommend you read it if you need to learn how to walk away from something.

It’s fine. But it’s not that interesting after a while and really I have other more enjoyable reads to be getting along with. So I took some of the info about quitting and quit this book.

In "Quit," Annie Duke masterfully navigates the complex terrain of decision-making, challenging the conventional wisdom that quitting is always a sign of weakness. Through her own journey from professional poker player to decision strategist, Duke offers readers a fresh perspective on how quitting can be a strategic advantage. By dissecting the cognitive biases and emotional traps that often hinder our ability to quit, Duke provides practical strategies for making better decisions and achieving greater success. Whether you're stuck in a dead-end job, a toxic relationship, or an unfulfilling pursuit, "Quit" offers a roadmap for recognizing when it's time to cut your losses and move on. With its blend of insightful analysis and actionable advice, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to master the art of quitting.
