The Dip


Kelly, Christian, and I took a short hiatus from our read of Jesus Under Fire to read through The Dip: A Little Book That Teaches You When to Quit (and When to Stick).  We read half of it last night and expect to get through the rest of it tonight.  My boss, Andrew, lent it to us.  It is one of those books that can change your life.  The premise is that Vince Lombardi’s old saying of “Winners never quit and quitters never win” is just wrong.  It is all a matter of choices.  We love the book and heartily recommend it.  Andrew commented that it would have been great to have had this kind of direction at a younger age.  I concur and am thankful I am getting this kind of direction even now.

    Oh this looks interesting! I’ll have to see if the library has it. 😉 I’m a big fan of Seth Godin’s blog but have only read one of his books (The Purple Cow).

    I have another book for my reading list 🙂

    I looked up the Purple Cow after I saw your post. I noticed that Seth Godin had written Permission Marketing which I had already read and liked. I definitely have to get the Purple Cow book now. That is another one for Trisha’s list, too. Godin has some fairly grating political correctness in the dip, but the big concepts were just awesome. We are looking forward to the Purple Cow.
