Borrow my Failures is a story of such power that readers will instantly connect with its brutal honesty about one's mistakes and misfortunes on the path to achieving a dream. Set in the modern era, the story is told through the eyes of Nader Shehadeh, a Palestinian-American, striving for success while balancing his family history and self-inflicted destitution. Shehadeh paints his Jerusalem/New York family life with an insightful grandfather and a successful father who supported the family by taking risks and creating stability in an unstable world. Shehadeh tells the engaging, inspiring story of his rise to becoming a scientist, college athlete, and entrepreneur while absorbing life's curve balls. Borrow My Failures hits hard with the exposing of Shehadeh's vulnerabilities and cognizant dispatches on friendship, family, failure, haters, and self-confidence ("Depend only on yourself, believe in yourself, ignore those who don't, and never be afraid to lose everything you have when chasing your goal," he writes, "You will survive whether you succeed or fail. You can quit when you die."). Intrepid, galvanizing and dissimilar, Borrow my Failures will resonate with anyone who has ever felt defeated, and with anyone who has ever felt inspired to achieve their dreams.
