John C. Maxwell covers the top reasons people fail and shows how to master fear instead of being mastered by it. Listeners will discover that positive benefits can accompany negative experiences-if you have the right attitude. Chock full of action suggestions and real-life stories, Failing Forward will help men and women move beyond mistakes to fulfill their potential and achieve success. Amazon.com Review: The author of 24 books on maximizing personal and leadership potential, John C. Maxwell believes 'the difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure.' In Failing Forward, he offers inspirational advice for turning the difficulties that inevitably arise in life into stepping stones that help you reach the top. Noting that star performers are often those who aggressively push forward after encountering adversity, Maxwell shows how a variety of well-known and not-so-well-known people have forged ahead despite obstacles that could have derailed them. They include: Mary Kay Ash, who founded her cosmetics firm against enormous odds when the direct-sales company she toiled in for 25 years resisted her continued corporate climb; Truett Cathy, who lost two brothers (and business partners) in an airplane crash and experienced his own serious medical problems before establishing the Chick-fil-A fast-food chain; Greg Horn, who reopened his Kentucky grocery store just 21 days after it suffered $1 million in flood damage; and Beck Weathers, who lost his nose, half of one arm, and the fingers on his other in the infamous 1996 Into Thin Air Mt. Everest tragedy, but now takes a positive message of survival and conquest to audiences around the world. --Howard Rothman Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Failing Forward John Maxwell does a great job again. John is letting you know you need to make mistakes in order to make progress...at least you better be. Rating: - Excellent Book I got this book from my Uncle's recommendation. Loved it and couldn't put it down. He just inspires you more and more with great stories of people who kept failing and made great successes of themselves. Basically you have to fail to succeed. If you are a perfectionist this is the perfect book for you!! Rating: - What a great Resource This was a great read and helps better understand the importance of taking every situation and turning it into a positive learning experience. Rating: - Good premise, strong beginning and ending, but weak in the middle The idea behind this book is very original and relevant. We all make mistakes and the exploration of how to learn from those and improve ourselves is a noble task. Maxwell begins well with insightful thoughts on what failure is and is not, how success is born out of failure and how to reframe our perception of our failures. Then the book quickly turns to largely extraneous stories and weak supporting points. The book drags on in this vein for some time. It is not until near the end that things ...
