Inspired by her podcast, Elizabeth Day's "Failure" offers an intelligent, sincere, and profound perspective on the unexpected aspects of life. This book is for anyone who has ever failed, which means it is for everyone. Day states, "If I've learned one thing from this beautiful adventure called life, it's that I've learned more when things went wrong than when everything seemed perfect." The book combines personal memoirs and manifestos with chapters on celebrities, sports, the human soul, family, anger, and friendship. It revolves around the premise of understanding why we fail despite our efforts. Full of inspiring stories from Elizabeth's own life, it reveals that it's not failure that defines us, but how we respond. Learning to fail is actually learning to succeed better, a need for us all.
