The Power of Failure

This book has been translated by Dar al-Faruq

Failure“” is one of the most dreaded words in the English language.

The very idea of failing is enough to stop most people in their tracks.

It can cause the majority to simply pack up, turn around and retreat without even trying.

Yet it is through seeming failure that most of life’s greatest successes are achieved.

The Power of Failure is designed to provide simple yet profound ways to turn what appear to be failures into successes.

It contains practical prescriptions for successfully meeting some of life’s most common setbacks.

The lessons of this book can help us all find the opportunities that are just waiting to be discovered in the challenges we face every day.

This book is about failure, but failure in a whole new light. It is about how to Fail To Succeed.

Seven years ago, the consulting group Bridgespan presented details on the performance of several prestigious nonprofits.

Nearly all of them had one thing in common — failure.  These organizations had a point at which they struggled financially, stalled on a project or experienced high rates of attrition.

“Everyone in the room had the same response, which was relief,” said Paul Schmitz, the chief executive of the nonprofit Public Allies.

“It was good to see that I wasn’t the only one struggling with these things.”
