Synopsis

Failure is an inevitable part of the human journey', says award-winning television and radio broadcaster and "New York Times" bestselling author Tavis Smiley. Smiley steps from behind the curtain of success to share intimate stories of his missteps, misdeeds and often highly publicised miscalculations in "Fail Up: 20 Lessons On Building Success From Failure". These instances of perceived 'failures' were, in fact, 'lessons' that shaped the principles and practices that now guide his life. Readers will find a kinship in Smiley's humanness that inspires, informs, and reminds us of our ability to 'fail up' in the face of life's inevitable setbacks.
