How much of your day is consumed by what you perceive you have to do? Rules you think you have to follow? Games you believe you have to play? What can you do to get out from under it all? QUIT! It`s the one choice we never seriously consider. Quit something you feel you must do and you`ll soon discover that you never had to do it in the first place. In the process you`ll discover what you really want to do. By letting go, you`ll experience the genuine fullness and vitality of truly living. Read this book and create the life you want. How to Win by Quitting explores the process of releasing yourself from all the not-so-necessary aspects of daily life. Somewhat autobiographical, it chronicles the life of a modern day Thoreau who quit the fast-paced and compulsive lifestyle of a an executive for a life he now lives and loves fully. Stocking`s engaging stories and candid commentaries shake out the dust of our conventional thinking about work, marriage, parenting, the nature of competition, TV, holidays and more. You`ll emerge from each chapter with a renewed view of the world around you -- an awareness that this is a friendlier place than you thought and that there are no mandatory rules. Come along for the ride and examine your own life. How to Win by Quitting is radical, witty, wise and highly useful.
