A guide to increasing our emotional and mental flexibility, assessing our goals, and knowing when to hang in or bail out, it tackles our tendencies to over-analyze, ruminate, and put a positive spin on situations we actually need to avoid.
In a culture which perceives quitting as a last resort, Alan Bernstein and Peg Streep show that it's an essential tool for a happy and successful life. They reveal simple truths which apply to goals in all areas of life including love, relationships, and work, including:
- Quitting permits growth and learning, as well as the ability to frame new goals.
- Without the ability to give up, most people will end up in a discouraging loop.
