Author Megan McArdle on Why Failing Well Is the Key to Success
Description
There's nothing as dangerous as perfect safety, says Megan McArdle, author of the new book, The Up Side of Down: Why Failing Well is the Key to Success. In this interview, McArdle says failure is inevitable, but how we handle our failures and whether we learn from them go a long way in shaping individuals, institutions, and entire societies. Drawing on personal anecdotes, current events, literature, and cutting-edge research, McArdle dissects our beliefs, myths, and cognitive biases about failure.
