The Dip
Seth Godin is awesome. At marketing. And starting businesses. And writing books. And I’m sure many other things.
After I read his book The Dip: A little book that teaches you when to quit (and when to stick) I decided that he is also awesome at love relationships. And doesn’t even know it.
Do you know how good it feels to know something Seth doesn’t? Amazing.
The Dip is the best book of inadvertent relationship advice that I’ve ever read. In my entire life. It’s great. Because every relationship, EVERY RELATIONSHIP, is going to go through The Dip.
Research says that marriages are most likely to end within the first 3 years. The Dip comes for every relationship and some trudge through, and some don’t. I’m not going to make a judgment on whether to quit or stick, but knowing that the Dip is the necessary payment for an awesome marriage in the future makes it a little easier to accept.
