Our societies talk a lot about success, but the reality is that no one gets through life without failing - in small and usually also in large ways. Sometimes our failures are very obvious, at other times, we feel we have to conceal them out of shame. This book encourages us to accept the role that failure plays for all of us and to feel compassion for ourselves for the messes we can't help but make as we go through our lives.Full of actionable tips on how to approach life's inevitable failures from small to large, this is the perfect volume for anyone who has ever gone through a breakup, suffered a career crisis, made enemies, fumbled a project, or wasted their time. (In other words: everyone.)There is nothing more human than failing--and nothing wiser and more necessary failing well.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePRAGMATIC ADVICE ON \u003c\/b\u003ehow to be resilient and endure regret, so we can recover and move on from despair and catastrophe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWE ARE NOT ALONE\u003c\/b\u003e explores various examples of real-world failure and reminds us that we are not alone in making mistakes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEMPATHETIC AND REAL\u003c\/b\u003e written from the perspective of those who have failed and survived their failure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCHAPTERS INCLUDE\u003c\/b\u003e How to Deal with the Meanness of the World, What Love Really Is and Why It Matters, Finding Perspective, Fear and Self-Hatred, and Self-Compassion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe School of Life is a global organization helping people lead more fulfilled lives.
