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.
