Description

The Art of Quitting is delicious food for thought for those bored with their jobs, or in a tired relationship, or simply overdue for a fresh breath of personal freedom. Mixing humour, homespun philosophy and plain commonsense, author Evan Harris offers realistic advice on more than twenty techniques for the easiest, most satisfying way to get out of virtually any nasty situation. Perhaps you long to renounce the cage of middle management for the free and easy life of a painter in Tahiti (Quit your job.) Or maybe you've realised that if you don't break it off now you will end up like so and so (Quit your lover.) Though it flies in the face of conventional wisdom, it is an undeniable truth: quitting can be the best decision you will ever make.
