What do Charles de Gaulle and Steve Jobs, Serge Gainsbourg and JK Rowling, Thomas Edison and Winston Churchill have in common? They all failed before they became successful. Their examples seem to tell us: strength does not lie in one failure, but in their diversity. There are defeats that give us the strength to stay on our path and those that encourage us to change it. There are failures that make us fighters, make us wiser, and free up time for other things. Telling the success stories of famous people through the prism of the teachings of Nietzsche, Freud and other prominent philosophers, the author of this book will teach you how to achieve success, face failures and turn defeats into victories in order to live fully and fulfill your dreams.
