"Fail Brilliantly offers readers a ’threshold concept’ : we all spend much of our lives trying to cope with failure; sometimes we even try to reassign different values to it, but failure looms as a debilitating concept in millions of lives, affecting children and adults alike. The authors propose a radical shift: erase the word and the concept from the realms of education and human endeavors. Replace it with new words and concepts. This shift in position has the potential to transform our lives.
