"Sometimes the most powerful way forward is knowing when to let go. In The Case for Quitting, Lindsay shows us how." — Allyson Felix, most-decorated Olympic track & field athlete in history "Required reading for anyone feeling trapped by the pressure to push through." — Annie Duke, bestselling author of Quit and Thinking In Bets In a world that prizes persistence, acclaimed journalist Lindsay Crouse offers a radical strategy for getting what we want: Quit.

But what if our relentlessness results in failure, sunken costs, and poor health, rather than success, happiness, and vitality?
