Uplifting, inspiring and rich in stories from Elizabeth’s own life, How to Fail reveals that failure is not what defines us rather it is how we respond to it that shapes us as individuals.

It’s a book about learning from our mistakes and about not being afraid. Part memoir, part manifesto, and including chapters on dating, work, sport, babies, families, anger and friendship, it is based on the simple premise that understanding why we fail ultimately makes us stronger. Out of crisis has come clarity, and sometimes even catharsis. I have evolved more as a result of things going wrong than when everything seemed to be going right. If I have learned one thing from this shockingly beautiful venture called life, it is this: failure has taught me lessons I would never otherwise have understood. This is a book for anyone who has ever failed.

***Elizabeth Day’s new novel Magpie is publishing this September and is available to pre-order now.*** Inspired by her hugely popular podcast, How To Fail is Elizabeth Day’s brilliantly funny, painfully honest and insightful celebration of things going wrong.
