Review Quitter will entertain, enlighten and challenge you to commit yourself to Mondays Of Joy instead of looking forward to the weekend so you can finally live. Tim Sanders New York Times Bestselling author of Today We Are Rich, former Yahoo! executive and a quitter --daveramsey.comThere are friends (I might be one of them) who will tell you, "Quit your job and follow your dream."

This book is wise, personal, funny and loaded with practical, real-world insights from Mr. Acuff's own ongoing odyssey.

Jon Acuff cuts right through all the crappy excuses that we put between us and our dreams. This book haunts me a month after I finished it. I can't fritter away time on the internet anymore with a clear conscience. I wake up earlier so I can take time to write and focus my thoughts for the day. I find myself trying harder and doing more work at work. It sucks. I miss my life as a slacker.Acuff writes from his own experiences not in a show off way but in a clever way that gives him credibility. I laughed and cried a little, but in a cool way, not an overly emotional wreck kind of way. Acuff is ridiculously likable which is probably best for him because if I didn't like him, I might try to kick him in the shins for suggesting that a work ethic in your current job will help you prepare for your future dream job.If you're taking time to read this review, you obviously have time to read something more substantial like a book. Go ahead and buy Quitter. Read it yourself. Give it to your whiny friends who can't figure out why they're not living their dreams. Call your brother or sister and read it to them over the phone. Give it to your kid in the basement who thinks it's normal to live with parents 10 years after graduating from college. You could also do what I did and give this book away with a break up note to your boyfriend, gently implying the relationship is doomed because he won't put away the X Box and become a grownup. So yeah, buy Quitter once, buy it twice, buy an entire case of books. I know you know people who should read it. My guess is you might be one of them, too.

By Steph I feel like I know Jon Acuff better after reading this book, but feel no closer to closing the gap between my dream job and my day job. Insights, but nothing revelatory. As someone who has considered alternatives to my day job for longer than a few hours, each of the ideas presented in this book has already crossed my mind. I also felt like the book was geared toward someone whose "dream" was similar to Jon's -- blogging, writing, creating a brand. If that's not what you dream of doing, I'd find another book to read.

Like most, I picked it up based on Dave Ramsey's recommendation as I'm a big fan of his. I went into it thinking that Jon Acuff must be some well-respected, established motivational speaker type like a Stephen Covey, and that this was all of his best advice after years of counseling people about their careers and having gone through the process himself many years before. In reality, Acuff has worked in various jobs over the past 10 years or so (that he complains endlessly about in the book without providing any substantive reasons for not liking them) and then started working for Dave Ramsey literally *right* before writing this book. The book basically says that Acuff was hired by Dave as a speaker/author and suggests that his very first assignment (or one of his first assignments) was to write this book about leaving your day job and starting your your dream job. So Acuff's dream job is basically writing a book about finding your dream job. This is problematic for several reasons, not the least of which are (i) he doesn't have any particularly great insights into making big career moves or any extended experience in this area--he just happened to get hired a month or two before by Dave Ramsey and (ii) very few people can relate to the dream of being a public speaker/motivational author, and even for those who can he doesn't really tell you anything practical for landing a job like that (instead focusing telling you not to quit your current job and lecturing you about not spending time at your current job thinking about your dream job).The book actually started out with some good and useful information in the first chapter or two. Unlike others, I didn't really mind Acuff's personal stories--I thought they were the most interesting part. What it lacks is substance. Once he gets past the personal stories, there just really isn't much too the book, and all of the filler that he puts in there is entirely unhelpful--I would just find it very wandering and repetitive. I don't blame Acuff as he is just doing the job that Dave assigned him. I also don't blame Dave for recommending the book endlessly--he's just being a capitalist plugging the book that he published and his employee wrote. I guess I blame myself for not looking into the book further. I saw that it had so many five star reviews so I figured it had to be good, but as I was reading it I found it really quite baffling because I thought there was just no way that that many people could find this book to be so great. What I later realized was that a very large chunk of these are from "the Quitter 100" -- that is, the 100 people whom Acuff had read this book before it was published. He thanks them in the book, and if you look through the reviews here on Amazon you will see that a huge chunk of the five star reviews mention that they were given pre-release copies or seem to know Jon personally or at least avidly follow his blog. At least many of them had the courtesy to disclose that they were given advanced copies, but my guess is that if you were to take out all of these reviews the real star rating on here would be noticeably lower.I'm sure Acuff is a nice guy, and I actually like his writing style and might check out his blog, but I would recommend not being fooled by the reviews on here and not spending your money and time on this one.
