In our rush to succeed, few see the merit in failure. This little gem of a book helps introduce a perspective in our lives, by reminding us that unaccepted failure is just a step toward success. Motivational quotes that inspire readers toward action are paired with real-life tales of absolute failure followed up by persistence and eventual triumph. Did you know: Michael Jordan failed to make his high school basketball team; Albert Einstein's teacher described him as "mentally slow, unsociable and adrift forever in his foolish dreams"; an MGM executive described Fred Astaire as "can't act, can't sing, slightly bald"; Winston Churchill lost every election for public office - until he became Prime Minister of England at the age of 62; and Walt Disney went bankrupt several times. "Fail Better" is the perfect antidote to the disappointment that follows our life of failures. It gives graduates a healthy dose of post-graduate perspective; provides a pick-me-up for workers who feel a little low on the totem pole; and comforts aspiring artists who, like Vincent Van Gogh, might have only sold one painting in their lifetime.
