Book: The Power of Failure.

Author: Charles Manz.

Reading:

Some people may ask why I wrote about failure, but they will immediately discover that the goal behind this book is how to harness the power of failure to succeed. However, I have a personal motive that is the real reason why I wrote this book.

On many occasions, some of my colleagues have asked me the following question: You are clearly a very successful human being, have you never failed?!

True, my life may seem like a success, as I have 12 books and 100 articles as well as a number of awards during my scientific career.

But this comment is really confusing. I am confused that they do not know some things about me, which is that my failure goes far beyond my success.

Others refer to one of my successful works, which I co-authored with one of my dear colleagues, which won the National Book Award ,it became a bestseller at the local level. These people only saw the end result of the book, but I remember how many times we rewrote the book's chapters that were of no value. In addition, they also overlook the fact that the book was denied publication by about 30 publishers before a young editor who liked to take risks was hired to take responsibility for publishing it.

What others don't know is that I struggled a lot at the beginning of my life, first to get a job after graduating from college, then to work in retail, and I've already failed at most levels. It is difficult to calculate how many articles the newspapers refused to publish and the large number of students who did not care about my teaching style at the university, as well as the large number of business officials who felt that my consultation was useless.

I hope that no one will misunderstand me, because I do not consider myself a failure in my work and my life. On the contrary, I consider myself to be very successful. I really think that most of the success I have achieved has been the result of my failure over and over again. That is the real reason why I wrote this book is to give failure as much as it deserves and to help others discover the enormous benefits that failure brings to them when it is dealt with by its own judgment.

This brief book contains simple ideas on how to employ failure in the short term, in order to achieve long-term success. It therefore matters to those who wish to increase their awareness and ability to reap the fruits of the many experiences of failure that we all experience in our lives. When you realize this, you will be free from succumbing to the apparent negative impact of failure. It would be great if we moved away from trying to explain human failure and false perfection.

"When you're done reading this book, I'd like you to have many benefits from knowing this essential goal, which is that your way to realize remarkable success is to harness and take advantage of the power of failure," says the author.
