Les vertus de l'échec - Charles Pepin
- In French. First published in 2016 (e-book).
In France, failures are frowned upon. We see a weakness, a mistake, not a sign of daring and (learning) experience.
Still, success rarely comes without a hitch. Charles de Gaulle, Rafael Nadal, Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, J. K. Rowling and Barbara have all suffered stinging setbacks before accomplishing.

-> An interesting book for who is seeking confirmation that learning by doing, means learning by making mistakes and capitalizing on them. Some repetitions and "easy" exemples are shared, yet the book has a point; dare, fail, learn, progress.
