In Quit: The Power of Knowing When to Walk Away, Annie Duke challenges the stigma around quitting and reveals how it can be a strategic move for success. Drawing on her experience as a professional poker player and decision strategist, Duke demonstrates that knowing when to cut your losses isn’t about giving up—it’s about maximizing outcomes. She explores the psychology behind our hesitation to quit and offers practical tools for making smarter, faster decisions. Whether it’s in business, personal life, or leadership, Quit teaches us that walking away at the right time can open doors to new opportunities and growth.
For Learning and Development professionals, this book offers fresh insights into decision-making. It provides insights that can be applied to training programs, leadership development, and career growth strategies.
Join us! We want to hear your perspective, and welcome you whether you’ve read the book, skimmed the book, read the chapters that interest you, read a summary, watched a YouTube summary, watched an interview with Annie Duke, or want to learn from your peers and share your experience. You are welcome!
