But the stories are so deep that each story can be a book in itself. So, without much context and with each story being so brief, it loses its essence if you do not know the full context of that person's work. Failure can indeed be our best teacher.

Grade A Shweta Punj is a business journalist, television host, and social entrepreneur. And we are stamped for life. It takes tremendous courage to come out and say, yes, I failed. Shweta Punj chronicles sixteen such leaders who have celebrated their failure as much as their success. Each story is an anatomy of failure.

The story told by Abhinav Bindra is truly inspiring and one can relate to it, as everybody has been through that phase in life where we come out with flying colors once and are expected to do so again. The most inspiring is the narrative of Sminu Jindal, who despite being handicapped rose above and went against all those who opposed her to do what she believed was right. Failure is not the curse of everyday joes like you and me.

It removes the shame from failure, and the fear, and asks us to embrace is — indeed, revel in it. Failure is not when you fall down. It is when you refuse to get up. The moral in each story was worth a million bucks, though some of the narratives were elaborated a little less than required. They constantly believed in themselves. My only gripe would be that it was too short. The stories in itself lasted pages, which does not let the reader fully explore the psyche of the individual failing, and thus, experience the magnitude of hopelessness and courage the failure brought on.

More than why they failed this book tells us how they succeeded even when all hope was lost. The message is clear: A feel good book that would put a lot of things in perspective.

It has a certain amount of freshness in the concept as all that the society ever cares about records are the success and accomplishments that an individual does and only that is told to us. But no body tells the amount of hardwork willpower and never say never attitude it takes to make a person successful as ge is.

Loved all the stories given in the book especially the way the author enlighten us about how a ordinary person with flesh n bones deals with things that seperates them from ordinary to extra ordinary.

Jul 30, Vinay Leo R. A collection of life stories of people who are known. The way this book is organized makes it easier for me to refer to the takeaways from the read when I feel down or need inspiration or even to hold myself back from celebrating too much. Aug 17, Nitin Gupta rated it really liked it Shelves: I picked up this book to get cues from other's mistakes and realized that some of the mistakes are what I do everyday.

Every bad news is a good news.. Jun 07, Anil Swarup rated it liked it. Except a couple of stories, most of them are primarily stories of initial struggle followed by success. There is indeed a huge difference between struggle and failure. Managing failure is much more complex as more often than not it is sudden and unexpected. This aspect doesn't get touched in these stories that are otherwise quite inspiring. Feb 10, Devang rated it really liked it. Shweta Punj takes a complete new and refreshing view on The Failure. After reading this book you'll surely relate it to your everyday experiences and try to overcome the failures you face.

One of the best books out there which help you enormously to introspect. Apr 29, Anurag Ruhela rated it liked it. I purchased this book by its cover. But book slightly disappointed me. I was thinking that something about the failure will be there but in it she has written overall story, so its kind of short story you can tell anyone.

No depth in stories for some serious inspiration.
