In Giving Up , author Annie Duke argues that perseverance also has its downsides. It can motivate you to pursue a difficult and worthy goal, but it can also keep you on a difficult path that is no longer worth pursuing.
Boxer Muhammad Ali is a clear example of this. In 1974, when he returned to the ring, many people considered him unlikely to defeat a young, muscular and “undefeated” opponent in the boxing world at that time.
But with perseverance and determination, Ali won and once again affirmed the title of “greatest boxer of all time”. If the story ended here, Ali would be a great example of the power of perseverance. But things don’t stop there…
As Annie Duke summarizes, because we don’t want to “finish the book” when we’re suffering losses, we keep sticking to a path that is no longer worth the effort we put in, even if it is a failing relationship. turns bad, an investment stock is losing value, or a business decision is increasingly losing money, but that’s also when we’re losing our competitive advantage.
Returning to the story of boxer Muhammad Ali, it was perseverance that helped Ali win and it also kept Ali in the ring for the next 7 years, despite all the advice and warning signs that his strength was strong. His health is going down. Because of this, he paid a heavy price at the end of his career with many consecutive losses, Parkinson’s syndrome (a disease that affects mobility) and physical and mental deterioration.
With deep, rigorous analysis and concrete evidence, Annie Duke shows learning how to unlock success in a new way. Whether faced with a business decision or an important personal choice, mastering the skill of letting go will help each person make progress on their journey.
