Learn why quitting might be your smartest strategy with our May book club pick
Our May book club challenges everything you've been told about perseverance. Former professional poker player and decision strategist Annie Duke makes a compelling case that knowing when to quit—jobs, projects, relationships, strategies—is one of the most valuable skills you can develop, yet it's one we're culturally conditioned to ignore.

About the book
In this book, Duke dismantles the myth that "winners never quit" and reveals how our fear of quitting costs us time, money, and happiness. Drawing on cognitive science, behavioral economics, and her own experience at high-stakes poker tables, she explains why we cling to losing strategies and provides frameworks for recognizing when it's time to walk away. Quitting isn't about giving up—it's about freeing up resources for better opportunities.

What you'll gain

  • A new perspective on quitting as a strategic skill rather than a character flaw
  • Practical decision-making tools to help you identify when to persist and when to pivot
  • Insights into the psychological traps that keep us stuck in dead-end situations, and how to overcome them to make smarter choices about where to invest your energy
