“One thing I loved was the use of the first-person point of view. Failure answers questions in detail when Robin asks them. The interviewer has fetched questions from his listeners over time and asks them with the intent of having answers come from the horse's mouth.”

“I found myself more confident as I read through, finding answers to my worries, all while the author's fictional creativity entertained me. The concepts discussed during the interview are not new per se; they bear semblance to those of neurolinguistic programming. What makes this book unique and refreshing is the author's use of various analogies to drive home his points.”

The book discusses a very common topic: failure. The way the author has presented his thoughts by writing a podcast interview with failure really hooks the reader in the first chapter.
