Have you ever felt caught between the tension of a day job and a dream job? That gap between what you have to do and what you’d love to do?

I have.

At first I thought I was the only one who felt that way, but then I started to talk to people and realized we’re becoming the “I’m, but” generation. When we talk about what we do for a living we inevitably say, “I’m a teacher, but I want to be an artist.” “I’m a CPA, but I’d love to start my own business.”

“I’m a _____, but I want to be a ______.”

All too often, we hear that dreaming big means you quit your day job, sell everything you own, and move to Guam. But what if there were a different way?

What if you could blow up your dream without blowing up your life?

What if you could go for broke without going broke?

What if you could start today?

What if you already have everything you need to begin?

From figuring out what your dream is to quitting in a way that exponentially increases your chance of success, Quitter is full of inspiring stories and actionable advice. This book is based on 12 years of cubicle living and my true story of cultivating a dream job that changed my life and the world in the process.

It’s time to close the gap between your day job and your dream job.

It’s time to be a Quitter.

A good book for the dreamer...

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

Recommended on the Dave Ramsey show... this was a good read for someone who is always dreaming of leaving their day job to start their own business. Kind of gives you an example of how to make the dream job work,(working for yourself) while not completely throwing in the towel on your day job.
As with any business venture, there will be sacrifices - pulling double shifts, getting paid at one job while working your dream job for free until you can get paid to do it.
A good book for the dreamer to see that 'escaping' can be possible - but a good reminder stay focused and not sink yourself before you get started... (tip your toe in before you take the plunge, prepare yourself so you don't lose the dream too.... )

I was disappointed in this book. It was written for the 30 something group, who is struggling in a job and family obligations, but has aspirations for something else. The only section of much merit was a part of a chapter on discovering your dream job/profession. The writing is uninspiring, in general poorly written, and I struggled to get to the end. It smacks of an author who has over reached himself in his own success and though it was on the Washington Post best seller list, I can only surmise that is because there are a lot of discontented people there.

Packed with wisdom and humility

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 22, 2020

Every now and then a book comes along that contains no fluffy hype and instead is packed with wisdom and humility. Quitter is one of these books.

These days it's normal to see a myriad of posts of LinkedIn making it sound cool to quit a day job. What all of these feel good posts neglect is that this is rarely practical, in fact it's often a terribly ill thought decision with huge negative consequences. But hey, as long as you can write that killer LinkedIn post in your pajamas and get congratulated by lots of people you don't know - it's all worth it...

The main theme of Quitter is how important your day job is, and that it plays a vital role in allowing you to move closer to your dream job. The practical advice the author providef from his own experience lays down a concise road map for the journey between your day job and your dream job.

This is a wonderful book and a very enjoyable read.

Comedic, Intelligent and Easy read.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 3, 2018

Jon is hilarious, knowledgeable and is thrilling to listen to via audible. He has on-going antidotes that have ailed/assisted in his life which are relatable and comedic. Quitter explains the capabilities that you possess along with why you have natural hold-ups and reservations. Great read/listen!

Disappointed!!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book was quite cringeworthy.

The writing style is casual and nice which in the beginning makes it a flowing easy read however very soon into the book this just looks like one big self gloating autobiography. I want a book that gives real advice, not read about the life of the author. Further it smacks of cringeworthy arrogance and whilst I get the writer is trying to be funny, comedy is something that needs to be relevant to the audience and in this case it is not.

I was looking for a professional practical guide to real steps as to how to transition. Instead I learnt about some random called Dave Ramsey who living in the UK, is of absolute insignificance to me. I think stuffchristianslike.com was mentioned over 350 times ( I get it..you want me to click on your page) and I also understand that for some it pays to brow nose your employer to get brownie points).

I actually got to about 80 percent of the way through in the book at which point trying to force myself painfully finish this pile of trop was actually worse than my unbearable job. Avoid!

Entertaining read although goes off on a tangent sometimes, more of a motivational book rather than a help and improvement book

Das Buch Quitter, welches mir den Weg zeigen will von meinem Tagesjob zu meinem Traumjob, beginnt damit: Kündige nicht! Oder wenigstens noch nicht. Jon Acuff hat Erfahrung damit, falsch zu kündigen. Von der Einladung zu einem Nachtessen für seinen Chef, um die schlechte Nachricht zu überbringen, bis zum ins Büro geworfenen Fresszettel mit anschliessender Flucht hat er alles durchgezogen. Doch das Buch endet nicht dort. Es zeigt auf, wie ich mit Geduld und Hartnäckigkeit auf die richtige Art von einer Beschäftigung, welche mich ernährt, zum Traum meines Lebens komme. Absolut lesenswert. Klar und in einfachem Englisch geschrieben, lohnt es sich für jeden, der sich Gedanken macht, ob nicht mehr am Leben sei als "Working 9 to 5, what a way to make a living".

Solid advice. Poor writing.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 13, 2011

Verified Purchase

Mr Acuff gives excellent advice on how to peruse your dream in a responsible and planned way. However, the writing is a times very poor - being over-emotive and using too many irrelevant illustrations that add nothing to the point being made. The whole book takes on a tone of 'Wow! Look at me and what I did! Wow' - which takes away from the otherwise solid advice. Mr Acuff is also clear that he writes out of a few months experience of having got his 'dream job'. One wonders if this would have been a much better book two years from now?
