There is something enriching about listening to stories of people’s failures. That might seem like a slightly odd thing to say but it is proven in this succinct handbook put together by Elizabeth Day off the back of her podcast, @howtofailpod.

The seven principles of failure delivered by Elizabeth are a bringing together of all the fascinating, emotional and honest conversations she has had over the last few years with a wide range of people. I felt it was a book that encouraged me to be brave, to be bold and to be the unfiltered version of myself. Fear of making mistakes is what holds us back. It keeps us static. This is the guide book for how to get over that fear without a hint of being preachy.

It’s physically pocket-sized but not in impact. Something that during these tumultuous times of anxiety and bad news can work like an encouraging balm. Go get it!
