Summary
We think of failure as a terrible thing or something to be avoided. But when you learn to fall in love with failure, a whole new level of growth occurs that will have you seeing progress faster than ever. In our 20s, the so called failure-decade, we talk about how you can learn to fail, including:
- The reasons we fear failure
- Why our definition of success is inaccurate and socially conditioned
- The relationship successful people have with success
- Why grit matters more than IQ
- Why your fear of failure is keeping you behind
- 5 ways to ritualise failure in your daily life + more
