Dealing with Failure: How to Learn from mistakes How to Harness The Power of Failure to Grow Why (Paperback) by William Cannon

Everyone makes mistakes. It's how you respond to those mistakes that'll determine whether you succeed or fail in the long term. Your ability to learn from failures will decide whether you repeat the same errors or successfully use them as building blocks to move ahead.

Dealing with Failure reveals that all paths to success lead through failure and what you can do to change your perspective on it, admit your mistakes, and build your own black box to consistently learn and improve from the feedback failure gives you.

If deliberate practice is the way to become world-class, then failure is the way to get there. Learning from your mistakes is the whole idea of deliberate practice, but doing so is hard. Why?

Because most people don't like mistakes. They shun them, they hate making them and if they do, they hate admitting them.

We hate admitting mistakes even more than we hate making them.
Look for opposing evidence by treating your ideas as hypotheses.
Develop a positive relationship with failure to stop avoiding it.

Are you ready to make failure your friend? Let's do this!
