"How To Fail At Almost Everything and Still Win Big"
The overall message of this book was to basically show that there are an endless amount of ways to do everything and have the outcome of success. In the book, it described failures as a way to shape people and create an opportunity for reform and adjustment, which ultimately is an adjustment to be made for greater success. In this course, we have covered failure and how it is inevitable for all of us to see our share of it, this does not mean everything ends, it just paves the path you are taking to adjust and shape for success, as discussed in the book as well. The exercise I would create would be making students create an idea and list 5 obstacles they think they could come by and what the solution/adjustment would be to fix the failure of an attempt for a successful idea. This book was no surprise to me, I was most attracted to it due to me having that "never back down" mentality. This book in a way described my overall mental outlook on life and its obstacles.
Hey Nick, I did the same reading reflection. I really enjoyed this read and gained a lot of insight as well. I agree with what you said on how it teaches us to use failure as a tool to shape us to win or succeed the next time. Each loss is really a small win in this book.
