Find out why the happiest, most successful people have the ability both to persist and to quit

Our culture usually defines quitting as admitting defeat, but persistence isn't always the answer: When a goal is no longer useful, we need to be able to quit to get the most out of life.

Featuring compelling stories of people who successfully quit, along with helpful questionnaires...
