| What the book is about: | |||||
| Here we are presented with a book that covers (in depth) the subject of how to benefit from failure.We are provided a 15 step program to focusing on failure as a tool in your arsenal rather than a permanent obstacle.
The first step states that “There is a major difference between the average person and high achievers”, that difference being their view on failure. In previous books such as “The Winning Attitude”, Maxwell alluded to the idea that failure isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Here the whole book focused on the premise that Failure is your friend or your enemy and you get to decide which. |

| Would I buy this book: |
YES |
||||
| A great addition to the library | |||||
| What I liked about this book: | |||||
| Some great quotes such as: “THE MAN WHO NEVER MADE A MISTAKE NEVER MADE ANYTHING”.Unlike his previous books where the examples seemed to be primarily based on bible characters, here he dealt with explaining his point using everyday folk.
I think we all need to know that it’s okay to fail sometimes, and here we have a book that actually encourages us to fail more. |
