There is nothing more human than to fail - and nothing wiser and more necessary than to learn to fail well. 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. For anyone who has ever had a relationship breakdown, suffered a career reversal, made enemies, bungled a project or wasted their time - in other words, for all of us.
