This is a hopeful, consoling, gentle book about failure. Our societies
talk a lot about success, but the reality is that no one gets through
life without failing – in small and usually also in large ways.
Sometimes our failures are very obvious, at other times, we feel we
have to conceal them out of shame. This book encourages us to
accept the role that failure plays for all of us and to feel compassion
for ourselves for the messes we can’t help but make as we go
through our lives
This is a hopeful, consoling, gentle book about failure. Our societies
talk a lot about success, but the reality is that no one gets through
life without failing – in small and usually also in large ways.
Sometimes our failures are very obvious, at other times, we feel we
have to conceal them out of shame. This book encourages us to
accept the role that failure plays for all of us and to feel compassion
for ourselves for the messes we can’t help but make as we go
through our lives
Our societies talk a lot about how to succeed: we’d end up so much
wiser and calmer if we learnt how to cope better with the more likely
scenario of failure. This is a book packed with dignified, sensible,
kindly suggestions about how to approach failure: how to deal with
friends, how to cope with enemies, how to endure regret, how to
pick oneself up, how to accept oneself despite one’s flaws, and how
to endure and thrive in new, less than ideal circumstances
It’s a perfect volume for anyone who has ever had a relationship
breakdown, suffered a career reversal, made enemies, bungled a
project or wasted their time – in other words, for all of us
When we fail, it can sometimes seem as if we are alone in this
however, in truth, there is nothing more human than to fail – and
nothing wiser and more necessary than to learn to fail well
