Strategic Quitting - Julia Keller

Quitting is an emotionally charged word. In contrast, words like perseverance and grit are revered. They collide when it’s time to pivot, move on or change direction. Pulitzer Prize winning author Julia Keller makes the case for strategic quitting and why it can be a courageous act of love to make a course correction versus sticking it out. In her new book, Quitting: A Life Strategy, she explores the neuroscience behind quitting and recounts the experiences of people from various walks of life for whom quitting was the right play. If you’re contemplating retirement or a pivot to a second act, you’ll find this conversation and Julia Keller’s new book to be timely, insightful and thought-provoking. _________________________ Bio Julia Keller, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and former cultural critic at the Chicago Tribune, is the author of many books for adults and young readers, including A Killing in the Hills, the first book in the Bell Elkins series and winner of the Barry Award for Best First Novel (2013); Back Home; and The Dark Intercept.
