Growing up, few of us learn when to keep going toward a long-range goal
and when to consider stopping. Knowing how and when to quit involves
initiating a set of steps, a process known as goal disengagement.
Maybe you assume that “just stop” is all you need to know. But it’s more complicated than that, according to Mastering the Art of Quitting: Why It Matters in Life, Love, and Work, by Peg Streep, the author or coauthor of 11 books, and Alan Bernstein, LCSW, who has served on the faculty at New York Medical College and New York University.
