Where to buy: www.borders.com
Nobody likes to fail. Just the idea of it makes many people cringe. But failure doesn’t only have to be negative. On the contrary, it can be a great learning opportunity on the way to success. Failure is about risk taking and making mistakes. Only when you learn from your mistakes and try something else can you truly achieve success.
The Power of Failure is a book about using the power of failure to build a successful future. In order to do that, you need to understand how you can put a positive spin on failure. The author, Charles C Manz, PhD, provides lots of food for thought about how to turn your perceived failure into something much more exciting. He provides lots of interesting tips on learning from your mistakes and gives hands-on advice how to overcome the emotional impact of failure. The book is divided into four chapters: Redefining Failure and Success, Winning Through Losing, Coping with Failure and Collaborating with Failure. I like the fact that the book offers real life stories of failure of very successful and influential people. It wasn’t just plain sailing to success for them as well, but they persevered and took the opportunity to turn failure into success.
If you are struggling coming to terms with failure, this is a book that can put you back on track. It is written in an easy-to-read style. I would certainly recommend it to anybody interested in the subject.
