A very scientific approach to common sense and what are often at the core most religious teaching. While he makes no such comparison or allusion, it was the impression left with me. ( )

There are a number of books about the importance of failure and mistakes in our lives. This one covers a lot of ground and is inspirational. Get ready to fail often, fail survivably, and do great things. ( )
