Quitter

Book 14: Quitter: Closing the Gap between Your Day Job and Your Dream Job by Jon Acuff is about finding your true calling in life and going after it while working to pay the bills. Acuff uses his life story of being a "serial quitter" to encourage readers to take the steps necessary to start working toward your dream job while working your day job. His message is pretty simple, work hard at your day job and your dream job, and when the time is right, quit your day job and go full-force with your dream. See, simple. Just the way I like.

This book is a good read if you're currently in a job that you hate, and you'd like to figure out how to move beyond that. What resonates most to me from the book is the idea that your work life and your non-work life will never be entirely separate. While your work doesn't necessarily define you, it's difficult to separate the two. You can't spend 40 hours a week doing something and not have it affect you, so you can't afford to remain in a job you hate. Yes, bills need to be paid and people fed, but if you're not fulfilled in your job, you may need to work toward quitting, so that you can find something meaningful. If that's you, I recommend that you find a copy of this book and read it.
