di Elizabeth Day (Autore)

Fourth Estate, 2020

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 conversations with the guests on her award-winning How to Fail podcast, from stories shared with her by readers and listeners, and from her own life, and distils 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, many more, Failosophy is the essential handbook for turning failure into success. Drawing from her own experiences and those of her podcast guests, Day's Failosophy is a motivational guide that explores the mind, relationships, and the spirit. It's a top pick for anyone navigating through life's rough patches, from career setbacks to dating disasters. For fans of Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love), Zadie Smith (Intimations), Emma Gannon (Sabotage), Julia Samuel (This Too Shall Pass), and Gretchen Rubin (Life in Five Senses).
