Summary

It seems that some people are born to achieve anything they want. Some would say they are lucky, are blessed, or have the Midas touch. But what truly is the reason for their success? Family background, wealth, greater opportunities, high morals, an easy childhood? New York Times best selling author John C. Maxwell has the answer: The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.

Maxwell says that if you are like him, you were never prepared to deal with failure. Coming out of school, he feared it, misunderstood it, and ran away from it. But he's learned to make failure his friend, and he can teach you to do the same.

Highly recommend for success habits

This book had been recommended to me quite a few times in my business and after being inspired by the author’s key note at my company’s global training conference I added it to my Audible playlist. So much inspiration; I love being inspired by successful people and will be recommending this to my team for many years.

Not life changing

Maybe my expectations were a little bit high but I feel this book was more about overcoming adversity than it was about failing forward. Maybe that's the same thing I don't know. It's basically some anecdotes about people not giving up and eventually succeeding at something. It does make you think a bit though. Overall I feel this book is more for teenagers. It might make them realize that most successful people are not these gods that somehow received a position they can never achieve, but were at some point also beginners.
