SPARKshelf: Quit by Annie Duke

SPARKshelf: Bringing you our favourite must-read business and personal development books by female authors (of course!).

As a product of hustle culture and the persist at all cost mentality this book takes a refreshing look at what it means to stay in too long. And shines a light on the idea of quitting. I love that it gives practical examples of when pushing through is the wrong move.

  • Redefines quitting – Challenges the stigma and shows quitting as a strategic skill.

  • The power of opportunity cost – Highlights how staying in the wrong path can be more costly than quitting.

  • Decision-making under uncertainty – Teaches when to persist and when to walk away.

  • Uses real-world examples – From poker to business and sports, showing smart quitting in action.

  • Quit early, not late – Encourages recognizing signs sooner rather than sticking it out too long.
