Yes, I did. Most important for me was how we tend to stick with something that we know is wrong way too long, usually until things totally fall apart. It doesn't matter whether it is a relationship, a lousy job, or a big budget movie that is going to flop. Denial! The second thing I learned, since I am from the Netherlands, is that bankruptcy is not the life sentence here in the USA like it is in my own country. Here you get a chance to pick yourself up by your bootstraps and try something new. In Europe you remain financially ostracized for the rest of your life, in most cases. That's good to know, even though I hope will never go bankrupt. This book is enjoyable, useful and well written. I just wish that the blurb had been a little clearer telling us what it was about. (  ) Marietje.Halbertsma | Jan 9, 2022 | In the book McArdle looks at a variety of aspects having to do with failure from types of failure to recovering from failure to the effect of failure on the American economy. She used various stories of famous failures as well as more personal stories from her own life. I felt that she did a good job of presenting her evidence and points without being overly pushy about a personal agenda. One of the more interesting aspects of the book were the comparisons between American views of failure and the European views of failure. In America, being a CEO of a failed company is considered something of a resume builder because companies will believe that the CEO learned from their mistakes. In Europe, being the CEO of a failed company is a career killer. A very interesting read that I would recommend to pretty much anybody. While there is some economic and psychological jargon it manages to stay pretty light and easy to read. ( ) mcroushorn | Aug 3, 2014 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"For readers of Drive, Outliers, and Daring Greatly, a counterintuitive, paradigm-shifting new take on what makes people and companies succeed Most new products fail. So do most small businesses. And most of us, if we are honest, have experienced a major setback in our personal or professional lives. So what determines who will bounce back and follow up with a home run? If you want to succeed in business and in life, Megan McArdle argues in this hugely thought-provoking book, you have to learn how to harness the power of failure. McArdle has been one of our most popular business bloggers for more than a decade, covering the rise and fall of some the world's top companies and challenging us to think differently about how we live, learn, and work. Drawing on cutting-edge research in science, psychology, economics, and business, and taking insights from turnaround experts, emergency room doctors, venture capitalists, child psychologists, bankruptcy judges, and mountaineers, McArdle argues that America is unique in its willingness to let people and companies fail, but also in its determination to let them pick up after the fall. Failure is how people and businesses learn. So how do you reinvent yourself when you are down? Dynamic and punchy, McArdle teaches us how to recognize mistakes early to channel setbacks into future success. The Up Side of Down marks the emergence of an author with her thumb on the pulse whose book just might change the way you lead your life"--
