Stop Stopping: How Ordinary Persistence Creates Extraordinary Lives (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798234244673)

Stop Stopping is a book about ordinary persistence - how, over decades of quiet daily decisions, it creates extraordinary lives.

It's about a boxer who went the distance with Muhammad Ali, a hip-hop musical that took sixteen years to write, and a painter who never sold a picture in his lifetime. A brick from a torn-down elementary school. A racetrack outside Cleveland. A grandfather who started with a broom and didn't put it down for fifty years.

Every one of them kept showing up, got knocked down, and decided every time to keep going. This is a book about the people who built us - and how the ones who shaped us most never really leave.
