Quit by Annie Duke
The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away
This book argues that quitting is an underused, strategic skill rather than a moral failure, and offers practical guidance for recognizing when to walk away from jobs, projects, investments, or relationships. It explains common traps like the sunk-cost fallacy and ego-driven persistence, shows how to reframe decisions by treating them as probabilistic, reversible, and experimental, and offers concrete tools—such as pre-set thresholds, decision checkpoints, and portfolio thinking—to evaluate opportunity costs and improve timing. The goal is to help readers replace dogged persistence with calibrated flexibility so they can allocate time and resources to higher-return opportunities.
