So grateful to @DavidEpstein for blurbing #QUIT. David didn't just say some nice things to put on the back cover, he also was right there with me when I was just starting the explore the ideas that would become the book.

He was a connector and thought partner and I know this book would be worse, had I not had his support. Thank you @davidepstein.

.@DavidEpstein is a brilliant writer & journalist. His book, RANGE, is a #1 @NYTimes bestseller. It's an engaging & thought-provoking exploration of the counterintuitive idea that being a generalist (not specialist) will = more creativity and success.

Plus, @DavidEpstein, himself, says, “Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers.” So how could I not totally love RANGE? 😊

.@DavidEpstein is also the author of The Sports Gene, another @NYTimes bestseller (yes, he is an amazing writer!) Highly recommend this book also, particularly for its exploration of the nature vs. nurture debate.

.@DavidEpstein also has a fantastic newsletter, called RANGE WIDELY. I’m a subscriber and you should be too!

I will also be having a super fun conversation with @DavidEpstein for a launch event for #QUIT
with @Powells bookstore in October. Keep your eyes out for details to come on that!

I am so appreciative that @DavidEpstein was willing to connect with a stranger back in the fall of 2020. His insights into quitting were so valuable to the book. Here is his blurb: “QUIT is the rare book that is both a page-turner and a legitimately important contribution."
