When her granddaughter was accepted to Naropa University, the
celebrated author Pema Chödrön promised that she’d speak at the
commencement ceremony.
Fail, Fail Again, Fail Better contains the wisdom shared on that day.
“What do we do when life doesn’t go the way we hoped?” begins Pema. “We say ‘I’m a failure.’”
But
what if failing wasn’t just “okay” . . . but the most direct way to
becoming a more complete, loving, and fulfilled human being?
Here,
Pema Chödrön offers us her heartfelt advice on facing the unknown—in
ourselves and in the world— and how our missteps can open our eyes to
see new possibilities and purpose.
For readers of all faiths who
are at a life crossroads, this brilliant gem of kindness and clarity is
sure to earn its place in our kitchens, offices, and backpacks, ready to
help us get back on our feet and into our hearts.
Includes an in-depth interview with Pema Chödrön and Tami Simon.
