The Dip
A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick)
Quitting the wrong things fast is a skill, not a failure: winners quit constantly, just not in the dip before the payoff
A very short book with a single sharp idea: nearly every worthwhile pursuit has a dip, a long stretch between starting and mastery where it stops being fun and most people quit. Winners quit constantly, Godin says, but they quit the dead ends fast and free up their effort for the dips worth pushing through. The skill is telling the two apart before you have sunk years into the wrong one.
