(Author)
Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The Fox News host and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Doesn't Hurt to Ask shares his trusted framework for decision making, telling the story of his life through the choices he's made using this revolutionary method. "The best guide I've read to help people analyze, make, and own their decisions . . . Make a great decision and read this book."--Dana Perino, Fox News anchor and host, former White House press secretary In life, moments arise when you have to decide your next move. When choosing whether to accept a new job, purchase a house, attend a school, or start a relationship, how do you settle on which direction to take? Trey Gowdy has found that most consequential decisions boil down to three simple options: start, stay, or leave. Gowdy first developed this decision-making tool in the courtroom during a federal murder trial, and it has guided his life ever since. The practical framework has helped him decide where to raise his family, when to leave his dream job, whether to run for Congress, and when to step away from political life. Over the years, Gowdy has made some great decisions and some lousy ones (and he admits to both). In Start, Stay, or Leave, he shares his hard-earned wisdom. Filled with surprising insights and questions, this personal playbook teaches you how to - craft your unique vision of success- consult your dreams with wisdom (and know when to revise them)
- assess the price worth paying to achieve your goals
- balance logic, emotion, and fear when facing a new challenge
- take the right advice, from the right people (and block out everyone else)
- chart the course of your life with the end goal in mind
Reading Start, Stay, or Leave is like sitting on the back porch of a farmhouse chatting with a wise friend. Filled with humor, heartbreak, practical advice, and a lifetime's worth of storytelling, this book will teach you how to approach trajectory-changing decisions with confidence and the knowledge that, whatever happens, you've made the best choice you could.

Reviews
"Life is a decision-making experience, and in Start, Stay, or Leave, Trey Gowdy provides the best guide I've read to help people analyze, make, and own their decisions. Gowdy encourages his readers to embrace the experience of deciding what's best for them, on their terms, and not according to anyone else's expectations. This is a book many of us wish we would have had when we were younger; however, we are grateful to have it now. Make a great decision and read this book."--Dana Perino, Fox News anchor and host, former White House press secretary
"This book stands out for one reason: Trey Gowdy's advice is easy to remember. Nobody needs more help than I do, and as a self-appointed expert in self-help, I know that advice must stick. Want proof? I made a huge life decision while reading Start, Stay, or Leave. My timing was perfect and money followed. While Gowdy doesn't deserve a cut of the money, he deserves credit. Weaving in colorful personal stories that make you laugh (mostly at Trey), this book will help you learn a simple plan: Aim toward meaning, find your mantra, prepare for the worst, listen to others' opinions, and then decide for yourself."--Jesse Watters, co-host of Fox's The Five, host of Jesse Watters Primetime
"A good life is often and rightly defined by the choices we make. In Start, Stay, or Leave, Trey Gowdy has written a powerfully and elegantly worded letter about why it's important to pursue the choices we make in life with love, vigor, and an open mind--and to do so without judgment, a hard heart, or resentment. Read this book."--Harold Ford, Jr., former U.S. representative (D-TN) and co-host of The Five
