ISBN: 1890772100 ISBN-13: 9781890772109 Publisher: Hohm Press OUR PRICE: $13.46 Product Type: Paperback Published: February 2015 Annotation: In this straight-talking, inspirational view of failure, Marianna Caplan unmasks it for what it really is: She tells us to how to meet failure on its own field, how to learn its twists and turns, its illusions and its realities. Only then, she advises, is one equipped to engage failure as a means of ultimate winning, and in a way that far exceeds our culturally-defined visions of success. This book offers a direct means of using failure for * profound self-understanding * increased compassion for self and others * significant spiritual development. Instead of speaking to where we should be, this book looks to our live s as they are now, realistically -- since everybody has experienced failure in big or small ways at some time or another in life. This book deals with a subject most people consider negative or depressing, but it is actually highly inspirational, giving us permission to find joy and contentment within failure. The Way of Failure covers many aspects of the subject, including: * the failure of ordinary love * the failure of conventional happiness * the failure of worldly success * the failure of ideas and philosophy * the failure of security * the failure of meaning * and ultimately, the failure of failure. |
