Widely acclaimed observer of daily life Joe Moran is here not to tell you that everything will be all right in the end, but to reassure you that failure is an occupational hazard of being human.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Moran shows, even the supremely gifted Leonardo da Vinci could be seen as a failure. Most artists, writers, sports stars and business people face failure. We all will, and can learn how to live with it. To echo Virginia Woolf, beauty \\\"is only got by the failure to get it . . . by facing what must be humiliation - the things one can't do.\\\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining philosophy, psychology, history and literature, Moran's ultimately upbeat reflections on being human, and his critique of how we live now, offers comfort, hope - and solace. For we need to see that not every failure can be made into a success - and that's OK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Print on demand - Ships in 1 to 3 months","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48287355797662,"sku":"UBD-9780241988107","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780241988107.jpg?v=1789628337","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780241988107","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
