Description
From Grammy Award–winning producer, artist, actor, and New York Times bestselling author benny blanco comes a book that teaches you how to achieve your wildest dreams by seizing the most powerful opportunity you'll ever be handed: failure.
You want success? You gotta fail better. I fail constantly—small everyday failures and massive failures that last for years. I've learned a few tricks along the way, and all of them have to do with turning f*cking up into an artform. My superpower as a producer is helping people tap into the success that's already inside of them.
F*ck Failure gives you the non-shortcut shortcuts to success. If you let it, this book can change your life. Soon enough, failure will start to feel good. And once you realise that failure is freedom, you'll never look back.
