Having read several of this author's previous books I lookedforward to this one with great anticipation: it is even better thanexpected! Maxwell's thesis is that "The difference between those who are successful and those who are not lies in their perception of, and their response to, failure." He builds his case in a very convincing series of fifteen steps. At the end of each step (chapter) all of the preceding steps are relisted: I found this very helpful!
No matter what your age, gender or occupation, this book will open your eyes. Get it!

John Maxwell does a marvellous job of helping people to work through failure and move on. I am 53 years old and was recently laid off by an employer who told me that I was the best employee he had. I felt betrayed and would wake up every morning thinking of ways to get even (even though I knew I wouldn't act on them.) I was really hurt and couldn't get over it. A friend of mine suggested I read two books. The first one she recommended was this one and it really helped me to put things into perspective. Instead of moping around the house, I started looking through the papers and making calls to get job interviews. Yes, it got me going! The other book my friend recommended was Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self which helped me to understand that every situation (even a a situation I don't like) is an opportunity to be my best, and it showed me how to make the most of any situation. With books like these in the world, we never have to be stuck and we can really make the most of our lives. |

It has been a truly inspiring and fascinating experience reading this book. I would say this book is more about how to approach life. What came out of this book for me was Failure was only in the mind. Success for the most part is always hard fought. Being dedicated to one's cause/dreams even in times of failure or when nobody believes in you is the true strength of a person. I hope I can hear the author in person some day ! |

This is a must for every person no matter what stage of life they are in or entering into. The steps to Failing Forward offer guidance in mapping out an attitude by which one can be successful. Dr. Maxwell points out that the terms "mistake" and "success" are similar in meaning with a different attitude focus. Examples of the Stepping Stones were relevant and applicable in tune with the main theme of the book, mistakes are lessons, lessons produce learning, learning maps our direction to achieving our life goals. This book is a must for every family (recommended for parents and children), couples either thinking of getting or are married, managers and employees. |

I read this book while I was having a hard time starting my own business. I had been told to "Fail Forward to Success," but I had no idea what that meant until I read this book. The real life examples and the great advice John Maxwell give make this book priceless! |

The fundamental message behind this book that inspires me the most is the fact that we as a human being should not be afraid to fail as failure is a part of life that will teach us things that wouldn't work, and thus we would eventually know things that would work well.
Perseverance is one of the essential character that should be possessed by people to fail forward. I personally believe that another character called humility should come into play in order to successfully fail forward as it puts us into a balanced perspective that we are not perfect, we need others around us, and everyone of us would go through the failure phase in order to ultimately reach our personal goals.
