The Dip by Seth Godin

The book I decided to read for book review number one was The Dip by Seth Godin. “The Dip”, as explained by Seth Godin, is a situation in which almost everyone falls into when starting something new and the fun begins to end. This book teaches you how to identify “the dip” and how to overcome it if you want to be the best in the world in whatever you are doing. Godin also talks about quitting and how sometimes quitting something is better than being in the “Cul-de-sac” dip, where no matter how hard you try, you never get anywhere. The best thing to do when you fall in the “cul-de-sac” is to quit.
Another good point that Godin talks about is that we should always analyze and plan everything before we start anything new (ex. Dancing classes, singing, a new sport, music lessons, starting a new business, ect). That way, you know before you start if you have a shot at making it and if you are willing in overcoming the dip. If you start something new and then quit when you fall in the dip, everything you did before will be worthless and you just wasted your time.
This book is relatively short and easy to read. I recommend it!!
