Ho To Fail At Life Lessons For The Next Generation [Paperback]

The late, great, personal development guru Jim Rohn lamented, Its too bad failures dont give seminars. Wouldnt that be valuable? If you meet a guy who has messed up his life for forty years, youve just got to say, John, if I bring my journal and promise to take good notes, would you spend a day with me?

Well, Jim, your wish has come true. As a time-honored expert in the art of failure, author Mark Aspelin has demonstrated exceptional skill by messing up in nearly all of the important areas of life: relationships, money, health, education, career ... the list goes on.

How to Fail at Life: Lessons for the Next Generation is the ultimate what not to do guide, filled with stories of self-inflicted catastrophes, completely avoidable suffering, and mindless forms of life wreckage - with some inspiring tales of redemption that reveal the secrets for how to live a happy and fulfilling life. Mark wrote this book for his son, as a fun way to pass on timeless success principles, just in case Mark gets hit by the proverbial beer truck.

You won't find any fancy buzzwords or secret formulas that are guaranteed to give you fame, fortune, enlightenment, and six-pack abs in 30 days without leaving your couch. Mark has read a bazillion books in the personal development space and quickly found that the principles of success are simple and consistent and have been documented ad nauseam. Why are the same success principles used again and again? Simple. They work.

Mark has packaged these life lessons within stories of people who've learned them through the School of Hard Knocks. You'll find true, inspirational stories of failure and redemption. You'll see a few household names that you may know well, as well as some obscure and unknown names.

If Mark has done his job well, you'll also see a bit of yourself in these stories. Afl3%
