Word of caution: don’t get stuck (like I did) on keywords based upon what you have been told growing up. His suggestions can be applied to professional decisions as well as personal ones. Godin pulls together sound advice and explains it in easy to understand language. The section explaining that quitting is not the same as failing was especially enlightening. With that rewording I could begin to consider what Godin was saying. The voice in my head that says NEVER QUIT and FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED was so loud that it took me until half-way through the book to recognize that in order for me to hear what the author was trying to tell me, I had to replace the word “quit” with “redirect”. Review: I have to admit that reading this book was a personal struggle for me. Godin explains that strategic quitting is the secret to success and “understanding the different types of situations that lead you to quit - or that should cause you to quit- is the first step toward getting what you want.” He observes that winners quit all the time.

The author seeks to straighten out some bad advice we may have received in our life, like “quitters never win and winners never quit”. “The dip” is when most people give up, but this book teaches you when to put your head down and plow through it and when not to. “The dip” is that time in a project/job after you have started something exciting, but long before you are considered an expert/successful. Summary: This small book (less than 80 pages) covers a lot of territory, but never strays too far from its goal: to help each of us be a superstar by recognizing and escaping dead ends, embracing “the dip” while also staying focused and motivated.
