While the main premise of the book--that failure is a key part of success--is compelling, and the info contained provides a nice jolt to shake readers out of their low self-esteem, I found this book to be more a collection of anecdotes than a well-organized expository piece. As well, many of the anecdotes centered around sports and business, particularly high-tech and internet business; where are the stories about art, music, government? To more fully support the main thesis of the book, the authors need to provide a wider range of examples.

A lot of interesting ideas in here, all revolving around similarities between success and failure, the need to worry about neither when focused on a task, and risk tolerance. It helped me think through some issues I've had with a book I'm writing, but it also gave me a lot to think about in terms of parenting.

Buku yang inspiratif. Menyadarkan kita untuk tidak terlalu mengagungkan kesuksesan dan menghindari kegagalan. Keduanya berperan aktif dalam membentuk hidup kita. Yang terpenting bukan sukses atau gagal, tapi bagaimana kita belajar menyikapi setiap pengalaman kita, dan selalu berusaha menjadi baik.

This book is great. Research and data on why and how failures are a necessary part of achieving innovation and success.

A good read overall, motivating but gets a bit boring until the last few chapters (Which I liked the most... 42 to the end if I recall correctly).

(Still) Timely and classic examination of the paradox of innovation. A quick read full of memorable examples and helpful hints that urge all to fail upwards.
