Summary
And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip: a temporary setback that you will overcome if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try.
According to best-selling author Seth Godin, what really sets superstars apart from everyone else is the ability to escape dead ends quickly while staying focused and motivated when it really counts.
Winners quit fast, quit often, and quit without guilt: until they commit to beating the right Dip for the right reasons. In fact, winners seek out the Dip. They realize that the bigger the barrier, the bigger the reward for getting past it. If you can become number one in your niche, you'll get more than your fair share of profits, glory, and long-term security.
Losers, on the other hand, fall into two basic traps. Either they fail to stick out the Dip - they get to the moment of truth and then give up - or they never even find the right Dip to conquer.
Whether you're a graphic designer, a sales rep, an athlete, or an aspiring CEO, this fun little book will help you figure out if you're in a Dip that's worthy of your time, effort, and talents. If you are, The Dip will inspire you to hang tough. If not, it will help you find the courage to quit so you can be number one at something else.
Seth Godin doesn't claim to have all the answers. But he will teach you how to ask the right questions.

Narrated very well
Makes you wonder how you hadn't already figured this stuff out.
Godin gives a simple framework on how to evaluate tasks, in work, relationships and hobbies, and then talks you through how to use it to your advantage. As simple as the framework is it can be applied to almost all aspects of your life.

Probably common sense-but a good reminder of when to quit
This is a short book that hi lights when to quit and when to carry on. It’s not groundbreaking knowledge, it’s common sense in a short effective book.
I can see myself listening to it again to remind myself of common sense approaches that seems to go out of the window when I am heading into a dip.

we do shop around for bottled water!
Volvic water is the best! Number 1.
On that note, what a great book. I would strongly recommend readying it especially if you are suffering from an impostor syndrome.

Pithy and to the point
Too the point yet elaborate enough.
Finished in 1 sitting.
Sufficiently life changing.
Much needed clarity.

All management books should be like this.
Short but detailed. Simple not facile. Perfect length. If you like me start management books with motivation but leave a stack of half finished, half digested books in your wake, this book us for you.

If you want to quit
I picked this up to help inspire thought about sticking it out but it's more like an inspirational story of quitting. It outlines the cost of staying too long at something that's doomed and if you want the nudge to do something about it, this can be a great book for you.
