Grit is one of those words that's a super, super positive connotation. But when you look at quit, there's hardly any words that are nice. In fact, one of the synonyms for quit is the word coward. Annie Duke knows a lot about quitting. She got really good at it when she was a professional poker player on the world stage. And what distinguishes great poker players from everybody else is that is mainly quitting.
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.
