Welcome! Well, what did you think of the book? My first thought when I opened the book for the first time on an airplane a couple of weeks ago was, oh-oh! Quitting! Mr. Godin refers to the book on his blog as a "mind grenade" and I think that is a good description of it. There is so much focus on succeeding we don't think about what it takes. Sometimes, we have to quit.
As many of you know, I've been at my job for a long time. As I re-read the book, I thought about all the things I've quit over the years. For example, I quit sending management circulation statistics, because I have a virtual collection and nothing to circulate. I don't think I would have looked very good in the eyes of my management, if I continued to send monthly reports covered in zeros. By quitting various tasks over the years, I was able to take on new tasks and responsibilities and remain current.
