The Rise: Creativity, the gift of failure, and the search for mastery

The Rise: Creativity, the gift of failure, and the search for mastery / Sarah Lewis 259 pgs.

What happens when you fail?  Some people give up, some people try again, some people move onto something completely different.  Sarah Lewis profiles several people who started out with something that ended up in failure and then moved onto something else.  She also talks about ideas that are ignored but then later turn out to be the answer.  "Grit" is being studied by psychologists and measures your ability to stick to a task or how hard you will work to achieve a goal.  People with more "grit" are more successful than even people with greater talent and ability.

A very interesting book that leads to a lot more reading.
