In the audiobook “The Pit,” Set Godin argues that Lombardy Vinс was not quite right when he said that those who surrender without a fight will never win, and winners never retreat. Set claims that retreat is what leads to victory—only if this step is taken at the right moment. The author offers a series of clever arguments to support his point of view.
According to the author, each of us eventually finds ourselves in a Pit—a kind of slump period—and it depends on whether we can show persistence and get out of it whether we will be top-class (in our field).
