Review
The author of 24 books on maximizing personal and leadership potential, John C. Maxwell believes "the difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure." In Failing Forward, he offers inspirational advice for turning the difficulties that inevitably arise in life into stepping stones that help you reach the top. Noting that star performers are often those who aggressively push forward after encountering adversity, Maxwell shows how a variety of well-known and not-so-well-known people have forged ahead despite obstacles that could have derailed them. They include: Mary Kay Ash, who founded her cosmetics firm against enormous odds when the direct-sales company she toiled in for 25 years resisted her continued corporate climb; Truett Cathy, who lost two brothers (and business partners) in an aeroplane crash and experienced his own serious medical problems before establishing the Chick-fil-A fast-food chain; Greg Horn, who reopened his Kentucky grocery store just 21 days after it suffered $1 million in flood damage; and Beck Weathers, who lost his nose, half of one arm and the fingers on his other in the infamous 1996 "Into Thin Air" Mt. Everest tragedy, but now takes a positive message of survival and conquest to audiences around the world. --Howard Rothman, Amazon.com
Synopsis
The major difference between achieving people and average people is their perception of and response to failure. The author takes a closer look at failure - and reveals that the secret of moving beyond failure is to use it as a lesson and a stepping-stone. He covers the top reasons people fail and shows how to master fear instead of being mastered by it. He helps readers learn to break out of the common ruts that keep them failing and offers strategies for moving forward after making a major mistake. The book contains action suggestions and rela-life stories and offers a strategic guide to help people move beyond failure to fulfil their potential and achieve success.
