The Dip by Seth Godin (2007, Hardcover)

The Dip has a lot of food for thought. We all reach that point where we get to The Dip, so do you stick it out, do you quit? Should you quit? Are you stuck and see you're not going anywhere?

Seth Godin says, "The essential thing to know about The Dip, is that it's there. Knowing that you're facing a Dip is the first step in getting through it." He emphasises throughout the book, if you can't make it through The Dip, don't start.

But he also states, "It's not enough to survive your way through The Dip. You get what you deserve when you embrace The Dip and treat it like the opportunity that it really is."

So, I guess, what I got from the book is, know your limits, but don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. And if you do, be prepared to meet The Dip, decide before hand if your going to stick it out, because if you do, that's what'll separate you from the others. Not everyone makes it through The Dip. Only the strong survive.
