So grateful to @donandrewmoore for supporting #QUIT and blurbing it. Don was crucial in helping me with the section of the book on over optimism and how that contributes to our bias against quitting. He is my go to guy on all things overconfidence😊

I first talked to @Donandrewmoore about quitting back in Jan of 2021 as I was working on the proposal for #QUIT. What day in January?? January 6th!

As we were zooming, I started getting a barrage of texts about what was happening at the Capitol. I realized I had not heard a word of the last few minutes of anything
@donandrewmoore had said so suggested that perhaps we should both go watch the news & reconvene at a later date.

We did reconvene and @DonAndrewMoore was so helpful! He immediately sent me a bunch of references and his thoughts about quitting. He was kind enough to read an early draft and helped with the writing on over optimism that drastically improved the book.

@donandrewmoore is an incredible scientist w/special expertise in biases about confidence. I LOVE his book PERFECTLY CONFIDENT. If you haven’t read it yet, you should! It's a wonderful book on how our calibration on confidence goes awry & how to improve amazon.com/Perfectly-Conf…

.@DonAndrewMoore also just released a new book with @BazermanMax called DECISION LEADERSHIP. Excellent! Another book I highly recommend. Max was also super helpful w/#QUIT- both in giving me his thoughts on the topic & making intros for me. Thank you, Max!

The other thing you should know about @donandrewmoore is that he is just an incredibly nice human. That is really the most important thing about him, right?

Here is the blurb @donandrewmoore gave #QUIT: “You won't want to quit reading this book, both because it is such a rewarding read and also because its lessons are so important, useful, and memorable.”
