My thoughts on faith, books, and life in general
Jon Acuff’s new book Quitter is definitely one of the best books I’ve picked up this year. Acuff starts with the question, “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?”
Sharing from his own personal journey from cubicle-dwelling-advertising wannabe to bestselling author,blogger, and communicator, he the reveals lessons he learned. These lessons helped him and will help us make the transition from doing what pays the bills, to doing what we love.
The book moves from discussing the desire to quit to:
- the reasons to keep your day job (for now)
- discovering what your dream might be (hint: it’s probably something you already enjoy, not something you’ve never heard of)
- learning how to work on your dream while holding down a day job
- using your day job as a launching pad to your dream
Throughout the whole book there are lots of fresh insights, mixed with a good dose of humor, and it’s all very real and relatable. As a reader I can relate to the things he says, because I’ve thought (or done) some of the same things.
If you have a dream and want to pursue it, I highly recommend getting this book.
You can get it from Amazon or DaveRamsey.com (note: if you buy it from Dave Ramsey, you’ll need to pay with a debit card – he’s consistent that way).
