Retreat to Win

Retreat to win. Be able to say "stop" to yourself. The idea underlying the book challenges common stereotypes that make us fight to the finish line and never give up. The authors argue that the ability to timely abandon one’s intentions is as valuable as persistence and determination. It is very important to learn to give up with dignity, because often people are literally fixated on perseverance, even when the goal is fundamentally unattainable. Sometimes retreating is the first step necessary to "reset" and rethink your goals - to understand what you really want from life and to embark on a new path.
