review 1: I listened to this as an audio book, which was good to hear the author's asides.However, honestly, it was mostly a waste of time. It's difficult to take seriously an entire book about someone's dream of writing books to tell others to follow their dream. There's some circular logic there!Acuff is smart, dedicated and passionate. He's not quite as funny as he thinks he is, but still pretty funny. But Quitter could easily be covered in a 2 hour seminar about working hard and making wise choices.I need to add - I am working in a job I love, so I don't currently feel the pressure that some do to desperately leave. Maybe I'd feel differently if that was the case.
review 2: Excellent book about how to realistically pursue a dream, by recognizing the value of your day... more job, while growing your audience and learning how to do your dream job properly through practice. Even more important, making realistic plans for handling success whenever it really IS time to quit your day job, because success brings its own problems. Recommended for anyone who wants to pursue a dream, or just determine the hard realities - good and bad - of pursuing it. less
