i think as a society, the way that we can change cultural norms around quitting is to recognize the compassion people will show us in the face of quin. And when i talk to people who are thinking about changing careers, and they're really having a hard time with it, one of the things that i always ask em is: Can you go back to the other career if this doesn't work out? And they'll normally say, yes, there's no reason why they can't. That seems to free them up to make the change. We have a tendency to think of decisions as last and final. In poker, you definitely can't think about it that way.
Annie Duke believes we should be quitting things more often, a skill she honed during her lucrative years as a professional poker player on the world stage. Annie talks about the science of quitting, and shows us how to get out of our own way and learn to quit when we should.
