A reassuring guide on how to overcome failure, teaching us that we can learn to fail wellThis is a hopeful, consoling, gentle book about failure. 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 success, but the reality is that no one gets through life without failing - in small and usually also in large ways.
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. 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. 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.
