WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“OMG your book was a lifesaver last night.
Both my kids had bad losses in their games and were really down on themselves. Over dinner, I brought out the book and we spent the next hour quizzing each other and laughing at who guessed right. They totally felt better and forgot about the loss. You need to make another! Thanks!”
— Allison Kile, Editor, Glen Ellyn Living
“Such a meaningful life lesson, prepared so perfectly for people of all ages—I’m bringing it to school.”
— Krissy Wind, Teacher
“I love your book!!! I absolutely could not put it down. It is such an outstanding way to address the subject of failure and disappointment—so uplifting, so approachable, and so encouraging. I think every teenager should have a copy.”
— Kelly N., Parent
“Life changing! Through this engaging and interactive book, Karen and Chad show us that failure is not the end of the road, but rather the beginning of our path to success. You will never experience failure in the same way again”
— Amy Schulting, PhD, M.Ed, licensed clinical psychologist
“This book is a reminder of the greatness that never wants to give up on us! The history lessons are written in such a fun and exciting way, you can’t put it down. Learning more about our worlds’ great heroes’ backstory makes you relate to them and feel more inspired. This book would be a fun ice-breaker trivia game for teachers to use with their students before introducing various history lessons.”
— Bobby Jackson, Life Coach
“Everyone fails, but not everyone fails well. Through creative exercises, puzzles, profile and quotations, The Failure Book shows that even the ‘best of us’ fails and that failure is no reason to give up on your dreams. This book is an excellent reminder that failures are opportunities for growth and progress. Highly recommend to anyone who has failed.”
— Alex Hurlburt, Personal Trainer and Coach
“This is a fabulous, important book. With such an overemphasis on achievement and perfectionism in our culture today, The Failure Book is a refreshing reminder that success (and dare I say happiness) come from trial, error and ultimately persistence.”
— Ellen Pieper, High School Career Advisor, Job Coach
“An easy, fun read, but definitely tested my history knowledge. Karen and Chad surreptitiously do a great job of depicting failures, yet showing ways to strive towards success. I would strongly recommend purchasing this book.”
— D’Wayne Bates, Athletic Director
