Book cover for The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick)
The opportunity cost of investing your life in something that’s not going to get better is just too high.

Seth Godin
“The time to look for a new job is when you don’t need one. The time to switch jobs is before it feels comfortable. Go. Switch. Challenge yourself; get yourself a raise and a promotion. You owe it to your career and your skills.”
― Seth Godin, The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit

Blake Crouch
“When a person dies, he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past…All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever. —KURT VONNEGUT, SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE”
― Blake Crouch, Recursion

Miranda July
“Maybe it all began now, my life as a wife comfortable in her own home, a real wife. I tried to remember how Pinocchio had become a real boy. It had something to do with being in a whale, maybe saving his father's life; I hadn't done anything like that.
But surely a woman was more complex than a puppet boy and she might become herself not once-and-for-all but cyclically: waxing, waning, sometimes disappearing altogether.”
― Miranda July, All Fours

Seth Godin
“Quitting is better than coping because quitting frees you up to excel at something else.”
― Seth Godin, The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit

Seth Godin
“Strategic quitting is a conscious decision you make based on the choices that are available to you. If you realize you’re at a dead end compared with what you could be investing in, quitting is not only a reasonable choice, it’s a smart one”
― Seth Godin, The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit
