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. Robin, the person who conducts the interview, asks some of the common questions that often come to our minds, making us feel represented. On the other hand, "failure," whom the book presents as a person giving the interview, answers those questions. I really liked this approach to writing the book.

The first part or chapter of the book was very interesting and helpful, while the other ten were a bit boring and less valuable. I believe the content in this book could be easily summarized in a 5,000-word article, which would be worth our time to read. However, a book of over 80 pages might not provide enough value to readers in the end.

The flow of the book wasn't good; sometimes the topics suddenly changed. For example, the story of the fence sitters felt forced and irrelevant. Robin, the interviewer, was discussing something else while the guest, "failure," started telling the story of the fence-sitters.

On many pages, either the writing didn't make much sense, or perhaps I couldn't properly understand what the author wanted to convey. It felt like the author had included unnecessary paragraphs to fill the pages. However, there were also some beautiful life lessons in some instances. I liked how this book suggests not being afraid of failure but instead learning from it. Things change in unpredictable ways, so we should keep moving with a flexible mindset and acknowledge that uncertainty is actually more practical than certainty. Such paragraphs have the potential to change lives for the better, but unfortunately, this book contains only a few of them; most of the pages are filled with boring conversation.
