This fascinating and provocative book will change the way you think about democracy. Challenging conventional wisdom, Daniel Ross shows how from its origins and into its globalized future, violence is an integral part of the democratic system. He draws on the examples of global terrorism and security, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the relation of colonial powers to indigenous populations, and the treatment of asylum seekers. His analysis of these controversial issues moves beyond the comfortable stances of both left and right to show that democracy is violent, from its beginning and at its heart.

Why do we stay in dead-end jobs, unhappy marriages, or finish terrible books? Because weve already invested time, money, or effort. Psychologist Daniel Ross tackles the "Sunk Cost Fallacy" in "The Quitting Point." Ross explains that the human brain is wired to avoid the pain of "waste" more than it seeks the pleasure of gain, leading us to throw good money (or years) after bad.The book distinguishes between "grit" (perseverance with a purpose) and "stubbornness" (refusing to admit a mistake). Ross provides a framework for auditing your life commitments: If you wouldnt start this project/relationship today, why are you still in it?"The Quitting Point" teaches the art of the "strategic quit." It validates the courage it takes to walk away and reframe "giving up" as "leveling up." It is a permission slip to stop digging when you are in a hole, proving that your past investment does not dictate your future potential.
