When her granddaughter was accepted to Naropa University, the
celebrated author Pema Chödrön promised that she’d speak at the
commencement ceremony. Fail, Fail Again, Fail Better contains the wisdom shared on that day.
“What do we do when life doesn’t go the way we hoped?” begins Pema. “We say ‘I’m a failure.’”
But what if failing wasn’t just “okay” . . . but the most direct way
to becoming a more complete, loving, and fulfilled human being? For readers of all faiths who are at a life crossroads, this
brilliant gem of kindness and clarity is sure to earn its place in our
kitchens, offices, and backpacks, ready to help us get back on our feet
and into our hearts.
Includes an in-depth interview with Pema Chödrön and Tami Simon.
