Fail Fast, Fail Often

How Losing Can Help You Win

De: Ryan Babineaux Ph.D., John Krumboltz PhD

Narrado por: Tim Adrres Pabon

Ryan Babineaux and John Krumboltz, psychologists, career counselors, and creators of the popular Stanford University course “Fail Fast, Fail Often,” have come to a compelling conclusion: happy and successful people tend to spend less time planning and more time acting. They get out into the world, try new things, and make mistakes, and in doing so, they benefit from unexpected experiences and opportunities. Drawing on the authors’ research in human development and innovation, Fail Fast, Fail Often shows readers how to allow their enthusiasm to guide them, to act boldly, and to leverage their strengths - even if they are terrified of failure.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Big goals are great - but not if they're paralyzing. In this fun and inspiring book, Rabineaux and Krumboltz show that taking small steps and accepting failures ultimately lead you down the path to success." (Laura Vanderkam, What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast)

Not as original as it could have been

Overall, it was a decent read. I feel, however, like the author failed to fully develop the overriding theme to the degree he could have. Largely, this was a rehashing of ideas that are far more fleshed-out in other books. There was very little original research to bring anything new to the table.

Direction and motivation to start change

Interesting perspectives to help you find direction in your life. There were some platitudes, but still worth listening to. The narration was understandable but flat. Would give three and a half stars if I could.

Wonderfully motivating book

Excellent book. Listened to it cover to cover and came back both more motivated and ready to conquer my fears once and for all.

motivational, get started now

not just motivational, but several How to steps with data to back it up

1st time listening to the book. I

Great listen. I plan to listen to it again to keep me moving in the right direction. Looking forward to a change. Thank you

Beware!

This book will change your life... If you don't have the courage to follow the lessons presented in this book, don't worry, because this book won't change your life if you don't follow it. If you're looking for fulfillment, searching for your purpose as an entrepreneur then this book is for you.

A lot of great advice

I read a few reviews that nothing new was said but for someone that has never read a book like this there was a lot of new and inspiring ideas! I can't wait to see where it takes me. I will be listening again and pausing so I can do some of the exercises and sharing it. The best part is that if one of the ideas mentioned doesn't help there are a plethora of ideas to try next!

awesome title, awesome advice

This book has advice that will help you become a better anything. It's research-based, punctuated with useful anecdotes, and clearly narrated.

Informative and moved quickly.

When referencing concepts that may have been well known to the listener author referenced original source then covered concept that applied. If you wanted a deep dive into the topic you could pursue it on your own.

Pleasant and Inoffensive

It's a collection of insubstantial motivational clichés, but at least it's a nice collection of insubstantial motivational clichés. Like with any other self-help book, check your brain at the door and prepare for a very short ride.
