Recommendation

Inspiring, prolific and best-selling author John. C. Maxwell explains how to learn from and cope with failure. Maxwell draws on examples, stories and observations, creating a readable manual filled with practical observations. If you put winning ahead of learning, Maxwell says, you will suffer, because failure is part of life. In the face of loss, he urges, remain hopeful and try to be “teachable.” Maxwell is a breezy, direct writer. His advice carries the weight of hard-earned knowledge and fundamental common sense. Maxwell evokes great thinkers – like psychologist Karl Jung – and the lessons of tiny, everyday experiences. getAbstract recommends his uplifting book to managers, entrepreneurs, anyone who is having a hard time, and everyone who believes the self can and should evolve.

Take-Aways

  • It doesn’t matter how many times you fail; what matters is how much you learn from your failures.
  • Your patterns of thought – rather than your possessions or salary – determine how much you learn.
  • Life is hard and often unfair.

    Great intro to the author. The synopsis on this particular book is rather too short - could have been a better insight into this wonderful book is going to unfold to its readers. Because I do strongly beleive that John Maxwell is no ordinary book so I am inspired to buy and keep in my constant reading library, so I can learn more every time I encounter a big challenge as I am going through today.
