We all experience failures but we don't all learn from them. In an innovative format, Beghetto and McBann explain in a conversational style how we can better experience and learn from failures! A fantastic book!--Yong Zhao Ph.D., Foundations Distinguished Professor, University of Kansas; Professor in Educational Leadership, Melbourne Graduate School of Education

My Favorite Failure is filled with stories that made me laugh, cry, squirm, and realize I am not alone. The authors spare us from those tired old arguments about celebrating and screw-ups and setbacks. They rightly treat failure as inevitable and often painful for all of us, and provide mindsets, mantras, and tools to help us respond better both in the moment and the long-term. As I read the lovely and wise conversations between the authors that run through the book, they taught me how to keep moving forward, keep learning, how to laugh at myself and love myself (despite and because of my flaws), and how to teach others to do the same. --Robert Sutton, organizational psychologist, Stanford professor, and New York Times bestselling author We all experience failures but we don't all learn from them. In an innovative format, Beghetto and McBann explain in a conversational style how we can better experience and learn from failures! A fantastic book! --Yong Zhao Ph.D., University of Kansas
