Inspired by her hugely popular podcast, How To Fail is Elizabeth Day's incredibly funny, painfully honest, and insightful tribute to the things that go wrong.
This is a book for anyone who has ever failed. Which means it's a book for everyone.
If I've learned one thing from this amazing adventure called life, it's this: my failures have taught me lessons I would never have understood otherwise. I have grown more from the things that went wrong than when everything seemed to be going right. From crisis comes clarity and, sometimes, even catharsis.
Part autobiography, part manifesto, it includes chapters on dating, work, sports, babies, families, anger and friendship, based on the simple premise that understanding why we fail ultimately makes us stronger. It's a book about learning from our mistakes and not being afraid.
Inspired and rich with stories from Elizabeth's personal life, How to Fail reveals that failure is not what defines us, but how we react to it that shapes us as individuals. Because learning how to fail is essentially learning how to succeed better. And everyone needs a little bit of that.
