In my speech about The Joy of Not Working that I made to 2,000 members of the National Turkish Society for Quality in Istanbul on November 26th, 2008, one of the success principles that I covered was "Practice the Art of Nonfinishing."

The whole point of this topic was that people don't quit their careers, jobs, projects, or even marriages often enough.

So, it was no surprise to read The Dip and find out that author Seth Godin has the same philosophy: Here are some quotes from the book:

    A good motivational book. To me very psychological in his examining quitting. I highly recommend this book for online marketers. I feel his advice is very straight forward and simple. It's important to think long term. ( )

    Basically, the message of the book is to know when to push forward, even though the time is tough, for better rewards or cut your losses because its not worth it. It was an easy read, but I thought it was just "eh" overall. ( )

    Interesting book. The most important line is something like.....'Write down what would make you quit something when you start out....then look at it later to decide'
    Otherwise, this stuff is still hard to figure out. ( )

    While this book was an easy read, quick and to the point with the main message (quit when it's right to quit) I honestly was confused about how to really distinguish between the so-called dip, the cul-de-sac, and the cliff with regard to jobs. Becasue of that, I can only call it lightweight advice at best.
