We spend much of our lives trying to cope with failure. For many of us, adults and children alike, the prospect of failure looms as a debilitating concept in our minds. It can not only stop us from succeeding-it can stop us from even trying.
Fail Brilliantlyproposes a radical shift: erase the word and concept of failurefrom the realms of education and human endeavors. Replace it with new words and concepts. This shift in position has the potential to transform our lives ... and ultimately reshape our definition of success.
