Failosophy : A Handbook for when Things Go Wrong

Elizabeth Day brings together the lessons she has learned, from conversations with the guests on her award-winning podcast, from stories shared by readers and listeners, and from her own life, and distils them into seven principles of failure. Practical, reassuring and inspirational, they offer a guide through life’s rough patches, from failed exams to romantic break-ups, from career setbacks to confidence crises, from navigating anxiety to surviving loss. With insights from Malcolm Gladwell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Lemn Sissay, Frankie Bridge, Nigel Slater, Emeli Sande, Alain de Botton, Meera Syal, and many more.
