Synopsis

Ryan Babineaux and John Krumboltz, psychologists, career counselors, and creators of the popular Stanford University course “Fail Fast, Fail Often,” have come to a compelling conclusion: happy and successful people tend to spend less time planning and more time acting. They get out into the world, try new things, and make mistakes, and in doing so, they benefit from unexpected experiences and opportunities. Drawing on the authors’ research in human development and innovation, Fail Fast, Fail Often shows readers how to allow their enthusiasm to guide them, to act boldly, and to leverage their strengths—even if they are terrified of failure.

As a perfectionist planner I know I need to “just do it” sometimes. And that was the main point of advice in this book. Just jump in. See what happens. If you screw up you can tweak and try again. There wasn’t any earth shattering, novel advice but I liked the stories they told and the matter of fac......more
