It was an eyeopener for me because as a child learned to durchhalten, aussitzen, to stay the course. After reading that article I felt that quitting a book I don't like and that doesn't serve me, for example, doesn't mean I am a complete failure.
It is great to mend things and relationships in order to keep them. However, it is also good to replace things that can't be fixed. And it is even better to know when it is better to repair or to replace. Because that article is in German and it isn't online, I have found another nice one about giving up: https://ladymiranda.medium.com/the-art-of-giving-up-5d7d553d6a99
Sorry in case you have already written about giving up in previous newsletters!
Dear Julian,
I have subscribed to your newsletter from Germany this January! And I am already commenting. I find your letters very inspiring.
I once read an article about giving up in the German magazine GEO: https://shop.geo.de/de_DE/einzelhefte/einzelausgaben/geo-07-2023/2119407.html
