The Benefit of Failures

And what if we reconsider our view on failures? 
Great success rarely falls upon people suddenly. What do Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Steve Jobs, J.K. Rowling, Rafael Nadal, and Roger Federer have in common? They all had to experience the bitterness of defeat before they achieved worldwide fame. 
By analyzing the life paths of celebrities and ordinary people in light of the ideas of Marcus Aurelius, Nietzsche, and Freud, contemporary French philosopher Charles Pépin teaches us to turn our mistakes and failures into successes. He shows that any trial makes us more experienced, resilient, and alive.
