My Favorite Failure: How Setbacks Can Lead to Learning and Growth

By Laura McBain and Ronald A. Beghetto

The stories in the book are stitched together like a quilt giving you an overview of the mosaic of failure but also shining a light on the components of failure. The stories provide an insight into how you can create the conditions where you're going to take risks together and then experience failure together. The narratives are from people who examined their favorite failures, pulled the stories apart and provided us with an opportunity to understand how failure is not just one moment or one set of emotions. These stories provide us with a glimpse into how we can approach teaching, learning and setbacks with more humility and more humanity. It's more than just about getting unstuck, because failure has its own shape, it's own momentum, and shapes who we are all trying to become.
