Synopsis

I Quit! is a collection of stories about people who have quit anything from their jobs to aspirations to people in their life. In a society that promotes the opposite, this book looks at the positives of quitting – and how making these difficult decisions lead to better outcomes in the long run.

Review

When I came across this book on NetGalley, I was immediately intrigued. Quitting is something that’s often considered a bad choice, which makes that decision so much harder even when it’s logical to do so. Having recently made my own big quit, I was curious to hear the quitting stories of others and how those choices impacted them.

This book is certainly motivating for anyone who’s in the midst of a difficult decision. The stories are well-structured, each including a questionnaire about reflections on their decisions and what their lives would be like had they refused to quit. The author also includes her own reflections and commentary on each story, and while these were weaved in in ways sometimes that made it difficult to differentiate the speaker, I did like her insights. 

If you’re looking for an inspiring read, I Quit! provides a lot of true motivating stories that readers can certainly relate to.
