I have done my best to name the thoughts, feelings, and opportunities that accompany the journey through failure, because in naming a thing we gain power over it. What I ultimately hope for are empowered men and women who confidently embrace their stories to live more effectively and wholeheartedly in the world. Fail fast, fail often, fail forward...We live in an age that acknowledges the importance of failure to success. Yet our relentless focus on success can leave us ill-prepared for the trauma, grief, and confusion that can accompany failure.

Struggle transmuted into hard-won wisdom
Revisado: 08-17-21
There are two definitions of failure - failing to achieve an objective and collapsing under a burden too great to bear - and Mark D. Jacobsen has been through both. This book tells his story but it’s more than a memoir. It offers insight but it’s not self-help. It’s a meditation - a deeply-considered reflection on the author’s own experience of failure, recovery, and renewal. It’s not about avoiding failure: that’s impossible. Nor is about short-cutting what follows: that’s only superficially desirable. Rather, by illuminating and expounding upon the stages of his journey, he helps us to find comfort, meaning, and hope as we make our own.
