The Dip - a Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick)A little book that teaches you when to quit (and when to stick)

Ever had that feeling that you’re banging your head against a brick wall and going no where? How do you know when you’ve hit a dead end? Or will you break through to tremendous success if you just keep pushing through?

This is the subject matter of the Dip, by Seth Godin.

The idea of quiting scars many people who are comfortable with their current situation, despite the fact there may be no further progress on the path they chose. But knowing when to quit may be essential to your career, relationships, and life. And likewise, knowing when to persevere is just as vital.

This book will show you how to differentiate between the two. It’s a short, fast read. Another one of those books you could knock off in an afternoon. I found the advice very useful, and I was reading it right at a time when I was thinking of quiting my day job. As it turns out, I was just in a Dip and needed to keep going to get through it. New opportunities came to me after getting through the difficult parts of my job. Reading ‘the Dip’ gave me the perspective I needed to to see the path necessary for my career.

If you’d like to get this book type ‘The Dip’ into the search box on my Bookwise bookstore.
