This book really engages the reader by asking “What would you do if you could not fail?” Quick to read and difficult to put down, a great read!

Great book! It feels like a lot of younger people today are afraid to fail. I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially younger adults.

I had a hard time getting through the first chapter. So many of his examples to start were of extremes that I couldn’t relate to. It was a quick easy read and there is a good message, but I was looking for something that had more to it.

I really enjoyed this book and needed to read it and reframe the way I look at risk and failure. I’ve been struggling at work and in my personal life with an unmanageable schedule and expectations. Failure is okay for unreasonable things. I found this book to be very freeing.

I’m unable to write a review because I never received the book. I’ve contacted your office via email twice to address the issue but never received a reply. I just sent another message regarding this matter via the contact page of this website.

Pretty straightforward. Nothing super surprising although I am curious about his documentaries. If you want a pep talk about trying and failing, you found it.

This really sticks with me: “Failure is an event, not an outfit. Just because you went there doesn’t mean you have to wear it.”

Motivating and encourages growth mindset. Challenges your way of thinking about failure. Engaging and thought provoking!
Cecily Heiner (verified owner) –
This is a a relatively fast read. I think I saw a youtube video about the author, and I think the presentation skills on social media are perhaps stronger than the prose in the book for this author.

This book is almost pure fluff. There is very little in here that is actually useful information or action items – it’s mostly an account of how the author kind of fell into all the amazing things he did, couched in the guise of chasing failure.
I’m glad I didn’t pay for this book. If you want a kind of meaningless story of the author’s life, or a pep talk that gives you a small amount of guidance, read this. If you want more substance, read something else.
Laura Palacio (verified owner) –
Great message. There is a path for everyone. With failures comes direction to a true calling.
Brittani Rodriguez-Olmos (verified owner) –

Colleen Winter (verified owner) –
This is a great book for anyone to read but especially for young adults just starting out in life. If they can understand it’s ok to fail and start over, the possibilities are endless.

When the Author has published 5 variations, you know he knows about “Chasing Failure”. Ryan Leak wrote a book that is worth reading, and reminds the reader in every chapter that failure is not fatal.

Great reminder to remember that failure is not always a bad thing but a way to learn more about yourself and what you are capable of.

Enjoyed it
Brooklyn Perry (verified owner) –
Very informal tone, reads in the same way I assume he talks. This was a little off-putting for me, but I tried to imagine I was listening to the book rather than reading it, and that helped me focus on the gems that are scattered throughout. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a little motivation!
Lisa Mathis (verified owner) –
This book encompasses the “fail forward” perspective. The idea that often we as humans must fail to succeed. And the mindset that comes with a success following a failure is imperative to realizing the work that was put into the task, plan or what have you that altered our minds and outcomes. A great read with many thoughts to reflect on and apply to our own daily lives. This book will get your mind going and may even change your outlook. It did mine.
