We discuss when is the right time to quit and what an expedition at Mount Everest can teach us about quitting, why there are no benefits of \\u201clearning the lesson the hard way\\u201d and why we tend to quit when it is too late, the importance of having kill criteria and splitting the decision. We also discuss why Duke recommends to keep your approach systematic and why setting goals is not always beneficial, the importance of finding a quitting coach and much more.
