I Quit! The Life-Affirming Joy of Giving Up is a collection of stories of real people and how they summoned the courage to quit things in their lives. My name is Coonoor Behal and I am the author of I Quit! The Life-Affirming Joy of Giving Up. I wrote this book because I’ve always loved quitting stories. I think learning the WHYs behind someone quitting something gets to the heart of who that person is and what their values are. I’ve also experienced quitting as a very positive experience in my own life - it’s always represented progress toward what I want in life. I knew I couldn’t be the only one out there who had a different view on quitting. Turns out I was right! My hope is that, in reading this book, you will discover that quitting doesn’t deserve the stigma or shame society gives it...and that “quitters” are often to be celebrated for their courage, strength, and self-knowledge. In this book, I hope to instill in you the same sort of passion and excitement that I have for rethinking quitting.Ultimately, I want you to see this book as a tool to help you re-examine the things you quit - and don’t quit - in your life. Quitting is a choice...but so is not quitting. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/i-quit-the-life-affirming-joy-of-giving-up#/
