Quitter Review

Title: Quitter: Closing the Gap between your Day Job & Your Dream Job

Author: Jon Acuff

Target Audience: People of all ages who are dissatisfied with their current day job and want to gain a little direction as they move to pursue their dream job.

How I found It: Jon Acuff is an author and speaker on Dave Ramsey's team. I heard about Quitter as I was listening to Ramsey's podcast.

Content - The Facts: Quitter might not be quite what you first think of when you imagine a book about pursuing your dream job. Acuff invites you into his own life, showing his own journey from day job to dream job, and providing humorous, anecdotal experiences. Instead of encouraging you to blindly leap after your dream job, Acuff begins providing a framework for you to work within, for everything from "falling in like" with your day job to avoiding "the dons" to defining success and more.
