The Dip by Seth Godin

The book, The Dip, by Seth Godin is a short 80 page book about when to quit or persevere in one’s career and in one’s life. Do not let its lack in length steer you to think that it was written on a whim. Godin does a good job of being thorough and getting straight to the point without any unnecessary fluff. The book is filled with short excerpts on steps to evaluate whether you should stick with the “dip” or in other words, a slump, in your job or quit and take another route. Godin also provides the reader with examples of successful individuals who decided to stick with the dip or quit the dip. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to others to read. I enjoyed Godin’s preciseness in writing and wittiness that is sprinkled throughout the pages of this book. If you are not sure whether to quit or stick with it, whether in your job or life, take some time to read The Dip.
