Description
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of How to Fail and Magpie
‘Elizabeth Day has revolutionised the way we see failure’ – Stylist
‘A beautiful timely and humane book’ – Alain de Botton
‘Most failures can teach us something meaningful about ourselves if we choose to listen.’
In Failosophy, Elizabeth Day brings together all the lessons she has learned from her award-winning How to Fail podcast, stories shared with her by readers and listeners, and her own life, distilling them into seven principles of failure.
Practical, reassuring, and inspirational, these principles offer a guide through life’s rough patches. From failed exams to romantic break-ups, from career setbacks to confidence crises, from navigating anxiety to surviving loss, Failosophy recognises and celebrates the fact that failure connects us all. It is what makes us human.
With insights from Malcolm Gladwell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Lemn Sissay, Frankie Bridge, Nigel Slater, Emeli Sande, Alain de Botton, Mabel, Fearne Cotton, Meera Syal, Dame Kelly Holmes, Andrew Scott, and many more, Failosophy is the essential handbook for turning failure into success.
