'A book for everyone who strives for greatness. Lindsay Crouse's writing reminds us that quitting is not giving up, but is finding the power to determine our own destiny' MARY CAIN
'The Case for Quitting should be required reading for anyone feeling trapped by the pressure to push through' ANNIE DUKE
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.
