Jolted

In Jolted, Anthony Klotz explores the psychological phenomenon of sudden, often unexpected events—'jolts'—that make people reconsider jobs and relationships.

Drawing on organizational behavior research and real-world examples, Klotz categorizes jolts, explains why they prompt rapid decisions, and outlines diagnostic steps to respond wisely.

He discusses common pitfalls like cognitive biases and social contagion, and reframes trends such as 'quiet quitting' as potential strategic responses.

The book balances practical advice for individuals with research-backed insights for organizations, emphasizing thoughtful, controlled decision-making.

Overall, it guides readers to differentiate transient emotional reactions from signals that warrant major life changes.
