This book is a perfect compliment to Elizabeth's brilliant podcast. Ideal as an introduction to the podcast in case you haven't heard it or as an addendum once you have! Eloquent, touching and real.

Aku suka banget sama buku ini. Yang kocak adalah bukan penulis buku ini yg aku suka tapi justru bintang tamu yg dihadirkan di buku ini. Jd ini kan tipenya kayk si penulis ngundang orang orang sukses dan menyuruh mereka bercerita tentang kegagalan mereka dan apa yg mereka lakukan, barulah si penulis buat kesimpulan dari pernyataan mereka.
Nah semua bintang tamunya tuh beneran seunik itu dalam menjawab. Yang paling membekas adalah ketika Haemin sumin dateng. Ketika Mega monk itu dateng dan banyak pause nya sebelum berbicara, si penulis panik kirain si mega monk ini ngerasa tersinggung gitu, ternyata enggak.
"He felt no need to fill silence"
Selain Haemin sunim banyak lagi bintang tamu yg pernyataanya tuh bikin aku ngerenungin diri.

After How to Fail which is one af my all-time favourite Failosophy disappointed me tremendously. The first book listens to people's failures kindly and gently without falling for the temptation to draw judgmental conclusions.
Failosophy, however, is an intepretation that cannot accept failure without having to esoterically instill shallow meaning to it. The result is a hasty motivational poster in form of a book.

Based on her podcast 'How to Fail', Day goes through the seven types of failure and offers a few wise ideas. The book is peppered with anecdotes and words from a host of 'celebrities'. It is a really slim book, I read it in less than an hour, however I actually quite enjoyed it. Some of the 'failosophy' is a little too tailored to the millennial (Generation Y) but there is also a lot of sound advice here as well
