Inspired by her hugely popular podcast; How To Fail is Elizabeth Day's brilliantly funny; painfully honest and insightful celebration of things going wrong. This is a book for anyone who has ever failed. Which means it's a book for everyone. If I have learned one thing from this shockingly beautiful venture called life; it is this: failure has taught me lessons I would never otherwise have understood. I have evolved more as a result of things going wrong than when everything seemed to be going right. Out of crisis has come clarity; and sometimes even catharsis. Part memoir; part manifesto; and including chapters on dating; work; sport; babies; families; anger and friendship; it is based on the simple premise that understanding why we fail ultimately makes us stronger. It's a book about learning from our mistakes and about not being afraid. Uplifting; inspiring and rich in stories from Elizabeth's own life; How to Fail reveals that failure is not what defines us; rather it is how we respond to it that shapes us as individuals. Because learning how to fail is actually learning how to succeed better. And everyone needs a bit of that.
