‘A beautiful timely and humane book. If there's one philosophy the
world needs more of right now, it's Failosophy’ Alain de Botton ‘A
pragmatic and pocket-sized guide to failure – how to cope with it
and what to learn from it … a must read’ Glamour ‘The timing of
this guide couldn’t be better - as we’ve navigated all of the
stresses that come with the pandemic – and Day’s advice is both
practical and reassuring. It really is okay to fail’ Evening
Standard 'Witty and likeable … thoughtful and probing' Guardian
Praise for How to Fail: ‘A book full of wisdom, humour, humility,
tenderness and heart. Elizabeth Day’s beautiful, reassuring stories
and observations are a guide to self-compassion, a celebration of
all things imperfect and will galvanise you to try, try again’
Dolly Alderton, author of Everything I Know About Love 'How To
Fail has rapidly become my essential companion in this
over-competitive, demanding world. By turns profound, witty, and
extremely reassuring, Elizabeth Day's sublime deconstruction of the
myth of 'success' – and the journey to find our own markers of
contentment – is a life-changing gift to us all.' Jessie Burton,
author of The Muse 'Brilliant Elizabeth Day, who you could
probably trust to talk eloquently about anything' Evening
Standard

IVF attempts, this podcast will make you feel better about life
when things aren’t going to plan’ Harper's Bazaar
