Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success shows how failure is truly an opportunity, and not the final nail in your coffin of hope. In this new perspective, the analysis of what constitutes success aligns perfectly with Earl Nightingale's proposition that success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. Using this truer, more worthwhile meaning for failure allows you to pursue success to its limits.

The author acknowledges that there is nothing new to creating success: a worthy ideal, vision, plans, hard work, building an effective team, persistence and character are certainly still required, and Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success is explicit about these. But, like the golfer who changes his grip before winning a dearly sought after first Major championship, sometimes you need to see things a little differently to finally make that yearned for breakthrough to your own success. Herein lies the true value of the material contained in Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success. Supporting the empowering acronym—failure as a Fruitful And Informative Lesson Urging Renewed Effort—the author cleverly uses illustrations and his own poetry before each chapter. These make for an enlightening preview of the coming chapter. The effect on your attention is as much entertaining as it is illuminating, ensuring you get the chapter’s intended message.
