Advice Goddess Radio, Live Tonight, 7-8pm PT: Peg Streep On The Science Behind Mindful Quitting To Get Ahead In Love, Work, Life
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in therapy and research.
Quitting isn't just for losers. Sure, there are those people who quit because they're lazy or lack the courage to take on their goal.
But my guest tonight, Peg Streep, is the co-author of an excellent book about judicious quitting -- quitting to get ahead in your job, your social world, and your relationships. The book is the science-based "Mastering the Art of Quitting: Why It Matters in Life, Love, and Work," co-authored with therapist Alan Bernstein.
Join us tonight as she explains how to know when it's over in love, work, and beyond, and how to engage in mindful and intelligent "disengagement" from goals that have outlived their usefulness so you can live to the fullest in every sphere of your life.

Don't miss last week's show with Dr. Francesca Gino.
Adorably, we humans see ourselves as rational animals. Research shows us to be anything but.
We are swayed in ways we wouldn't expect in both our decision-making and how well we stick to our plans.
The good news is, the research also shows that our going off track happens in predictable ways. My guest, Harvard Business School professor, Dr. Francesca Gino, both lays out the forces that sidetrack us as we're trying to accomplish our goals and offers guidelines that we can use to keep ourselves on track.
Dr. Gino's recently-published book on this subject is Sidetracked: Why Our Decisions Get Derailed, and How We Can Stick to the Plan. Join us tonight and have your eyes opened about the psychological, social, and environmental stumbling blocks that keep us from getting where we want to go.
