It's OK to fail - what a comfort!

In my humble opinion, this is the most honest and direct book ever written! Even though it's SO hard and painful for us to accept it, it's definitely true that each and every human being on Earth inevitably faces infinite failures and losses in his/her life - no exceptions! Even though we would like things to be different, this is the reality of human life and nobody can escape it!The message I got from the book is that, contrary to what we've been conditioned to believe, it's OK to fail and we don't necessarily need to judge or belittle ourselves for having failed. It is possible to find more productive and healthier ways to view and deal with all our failures and losses. I definitely recommend this book to all those who, like myself, are facing great pain and grief due to the "inevitable failures of human life", and are hoping to find something positive in our tragedies and come to terms with reality. Through this book I've finally started a process of forgiving myself for my so many failures and even forgiving life for the so many ways I thought it had failed me! There is in fact a different way in which we can understand our failures - and this can bring us a lot of comfort!
