DESCRIPTION
In a culture that celebrates persistence at almost any cost, journalist Lindsay Crouse makes the argument that sometimes the smartest move is to quit. The Case for Quitting explores how knowing when to walk away can create space for healthier choices, new opportunities, and meaningful change.
Drawing on research, psychology, cultural history, personal experience, and stories from work, relationships, sports, and other parts of life, Crouse examines why people find it so difficult to abandon goals that no longer serve them. She considers the sunk-cost fallacy, the pressure to tie identity to achievement, and the widespread assumption that perseverance is always a virtue.
Designed for anyone facing a personal or professional crossroads, The Case for Quitting offers a different way to think about success, resilience, and the decision to change direction.

"Love the rotating seasonal items and the consistent supply of specialty office supplies!! Jerrol's makes it fun to pick up page protectors-- if I happen to also purchase a chicken-shaped mug or gorgeous wildflower apron while I'm there as well, that's just a happy accident lol :)"
"In one quick visit, I was able to get help finding art supplies for a new project as well as order some new release books for my daughters for Christmas. It’s great to have a small business in town that can do all that!"
"What a fun quirky place. Art supplies, RC cars, and puzzles, yep! Need a coffee while browsing the vintage clothing, sure! Office furniture, yep! Need some university gear, they have that too! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area."
“I came in for something specific and left with exactly what I needed. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.”
