From Library Journal:
According to a recent Newsweek cover story, the latest national elixir for negative feelings is greater self-esteem. Lord, co-director for The Life Project, a center for failure experience workshops, offers this book on the rewards of failure. Having become a quasi-expert on the subject through his own string of personal failures, Lord attempts to convince readers that success and failure are relative terms, and that "restoration of a positive self-image" is all that is needed to overcome any feelings of defeat or guilt. Bad judgment, inexperience, or stupidity are not to be blamed. Numerous stories of failure and end-of-chapter exercises comprise much of the text. Although the ideas presented may cheer some readers depressed over their failures, the book's rambling style, repetitious prose, and quick-fixes will be unappealing to most. A marginal purchase.
