Quit : the power of knowing when to walk away
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Whether it's leaving a bad job, selling a poorly performing stock, or walking out on a toxic relationship, we often stick to the wrong course of action for too long. Psychologiclaly, we're biased to gut things out—especially when we've already sunk significant resources into our effort. But staying the course when it's no longer worthwhile wastes time, energy, and money that could be better spent elsewhere. Making smart decisions about when to quit is one of the key skills that differentiates those who succeed in the long term from those who don't. That's why winners quit a lot. Bestselling author and internationally acclaimed decision-making expert Annie Duke draws on thoughtful examples, behavioral science, and keen-eyed analysis to explain why good quitting skills are integral to success in any part of life.
