Review Quit Quitting
Quit Quitting resonated with me on so many levels, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone struggling to stick with their goals, whether big or small. Keri Lappi's writing style is incredibly approachable – it feels like she's having a friendly chat with you, offering encouragement and insightful strategies without ever feeling preachy or condescending. Her Gen X references, a refreshing change from the usual self-help fare, perfectly encapsulate the relatable struggles we all face in balancing life's demands while striving for personal growth.
What sets this book apart is its practical, no-nonsense approach. It’s not just about motivation; it delves into the why behind our often-repeated cycles of starting and stopping. Lappi expertly dissects the psychological barriers that keep us from achieving lasting change, blending scientific research with real-life examples and compelling personal stories. These aren't just abstract concepts; they're relatable accounts of ordinary people achieving extraordinary things through grit and perseverance. The book doesn't shy away from the hard work involved, but it emphasizes that small, consistent steps—the "small changes = big results" philosophy—are key to long-term success.
I particularly appreciated the emphasis on mindset shifts. Lappi doesn't just offer a list of "to-dos"; she helps you reframe your thinking, addressing the internal dialogue that often sabotages our progress. She addresses the societal pressure for instant gratification, reminding us that lasting change takes time and effort. This book is a powerful antidote to the quick-fix mentality that pervades so much of modern self-help. It's a reminder that sustainable achievement isn't about finding a magic bullet, but about cultivating resilience, embracing setbacks as learning opportunities, and developing a growth mindset.
The book's structure is also well-designed. It's not overly long, making it easy to digest in manageable chunks, yet it covers a breadth of relevant topics. The inclusion of personal profiles of individuals who have successfully overcome similar challenges provides both inspiration and tangible strategies. Reading about their journeys—their struggles, their breakthroughs, and the lessons they learned—made the book even more impactful. It felt less like a lecture and more like a supportive conversation with people who truly understand the challenges we face.
Ultimately, Quit Quitting isn't just a self-help book; it's a guide to cultivating a more resilient and empowered version of yourself. It’s a book that stays with you long after you finish reading it, prompting reflection and encouraging consistent action. It's a book that I’ll likely revisit often, not just as a reminder of the strategies it offers, but as a source of ongoing motivation and inspiration. If you’re ready to break free from the cycle of starting and stopping, and truly commit to achieving your goals, then this book is an invaluable resource. I highly recommend picking up a copy for yourself and perhaps even a few for friends and family—it’s a gift that keeps on giving.
