The Quitter's Manifesto

Summary

A life-affirming book for every employee who feels stuck, The Quitter’s Manifesto is an inspiring guide to leaving a job that doesn’t fulfill you in order to find work that does.

Quitting a job with a steady paycheck and benefits is tough—you have to write a letter of resignation, find new work or start a business, and dust off the resume. Still, if this was all that was stopping you from making the leap, you probably would have leapt long ago.

Though quitting is about action, it’s far more about why you aren’t taking action. If you’ve felt trapped in your job but can’t quite seem to take the next step, this book will give you the game plan you need to deal with uncertainty. The Quitter’s Manifesto was written by two successful Quitters and features the inspiring stories of many more, and they will help you create a plan that will make leaving a job seem less daunting.

You’ll learn strategies to:

• Find the root cause of why you’re stuck and what to do about it


• Develop a safer, more gradual approach to transitioning to work that matters


• Build a team to help you find opportunities and navigate difficulties


• Dialin your financial situation to make quitting less risky


• Failure-proof your mind for the ups and downs of change


• Easy to read, simple to follow, The Quitter’s Manifesto is a call to freedom for anyone who’s waited too long to make a change. The work you love is out there—and your new job is not to give up on yourself.
