How to Fail: Everything I’ve Ever Learned From Things Going Wrong by Elizabeth Day

challenging inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I picked this book specifically due to a period which felt like one thing after another was going wrong and I needed some encouragement and a pick me up and oh my gosh, what a book! It was exactly what I needed especially in the audiobook format, which the author narrates, as it felt like Elizabeth and I were having a chat over a coffee each time I pressed play.

Although I couldn’t relate to every chapter (I’ve never been married or had children etc) there were so many amazing quotes and sections that really spoke to me in areas such as sport, work, relationships, friends, family and study, that it almost felt like Elizabeth has written this book for me personally. Would highly recommend to anyone who has ever failed (ie everyone!)
