The Joy of Quitting

Product Information

There are also things that I haven’t quit. I’ve kept at Weirdo Poetry, which started with the publication of my Pirate Haiku book in 2016 that almost nobody read. There were years when I had less than twenty people who cared anything about what I was creating. The author Alan Cohen said, “Integrity is the condition in which the life you are living in the outer world matches who you are in the inner world.” I’m going to be completely honest with you – quiet quitting it’s not my concept. I’ve read about it many times but this particular version, I came across in the book by the wonderful Nedra Glover Tawwab. How does it work? Mastery: Robert Greene draws on the lives of Martha Graham, Charles Darwin, and others to show how pursuing mastery of the thing we love to do can lead to great things. La sonrisa congelada. Es inevitable que aparezca con cada nuevo episodio de la vida de Keiler Roberts, narrado con su trazo desgarbado (pero cada vez más cuidado), donde nos cuenta anécdotas del día a día en su hogar, conviviendo con su familia y su enfermedad. De hecho, en esta El placer de la renuncia, Roberts se retrotrae al origen de dos de los pilares de su obra autobiográfica: el diagnóstico de su esclerosis múltiple y el nacimiento de su (siempre hilarante sin esfuerzo alguno) hija Xia.

If there is a secret to life, I think it might be to keep quitting things until you find something you don’t want to quit. Anyone who’s squinted doubtfully at a parenting manual will relish The Joy of Quitting by Keiler Roberts, which skewers family life with merciless and very funny directness."— Guardian Best Graphic Novels of 2022Divine intelligence is constantly inviting you to let go and trust, to be bold enough to jettison what isn’t working and clear away the deadwood that no longer serves you. Always, you’re invited to be spiritually defiant, to lower your umbrella of resistance and excuses, and do what’s right according to the dictates of your soul. I repeat: your soul. Not what your parents want, or your spouse, your kids, your preachers, teachers, friends, society, or the media, but you. This is your life, your journey. Consider others’ feelings, by all means; honor their path, too; but don’t let it dictate your own. Self-help gurus adore quotes like this, aiming to infuse divine inspiration and discourage quitting. But why shouldn’t we quit things? Why should we set a goal and never deviate from it? The joy of quitting can be exhilarating. I’d mute phone calls from real life people when they came in during my leisurely social-media scroll, choosing synthetic connection over the real deal. The most ambitious (and just plain largest) collection of Keillor Roberts' memoir or autobio comics, a Drawn & Quarterly production. This book collects from a decade of work, from five previous titles--Powdered Milk (2012), Miseryland (2015), Sunburning (2017), Chlorine Gardens (2018) and Rat Time (2019)--like a summary of her life so far. I categorize this as "disability" because Keillor has both MS and is bipolar, and these experiences have been part of earlier collections, but in this one we learn even more about the weirdness of her brain (or maybe, with the weirdness of my brain, I just forgot what I had read and all of this I had read before). Always funny, especially as we get deeper into the way her mind works. But it is not mostly about her disabilities; those are just part of her life. The main focus of the book is her family, and motherhood, as always.

He shifted, his hands on his knees, and said, “I don’t know why I want to share this, but something I was just thinking about and talking with God about is faith. And if we put faith in anything outside of God, It’s sin.” For every person who dies a smoking-related death, 30 or more peopleare living with a smoking-related disease. I felt like there wasn’t enough time in the day, but would be ashamed to share my screen time data with a friend.Above all, let quitting be your passport to personal freedom and to living with integrity. In every aspect of your life, the signal from your inner GPS is always there, always beaming out, always trying to lift you up toward your higher path. Your soul’s path.
