Description

FINALIST: American Book Fest Best Book Award 2020 - Business: Careers

Success. Innovation. Creativity. Growth. We all want these things at work - but the one thing they all have in common is that they involve failure.

A fear of failure, or the inability to bounce back and learn from failures, is one of the biggest things that can hold us back in our professional development - so how do we learn how to fail well and develop our resilience? Wherever we work, and whatever role we deliver, we all have the power to change our thinking and our response to failure - Bounce Back is here to help.

Written by Business Psychologist Dr Susan Kahn, this book will show you how to embrace failure. Failing fast, failing well, and learning how to be agile and resilient at work is a vital part of being a successful and innovative leader, approaching opportunities with excitement and creativity, and driving forward your personal and professional growth.

Packed with practical exercises, inspirational case studies and a useful resilience self-assessment guide, Bounce Back will show you how to invest in your resilience in a deliberate way, and empower you to face risk head-on. From learning how to respond well to critical feedback, to understanding cultural attitudes to failure around the world, this book will help you be a stronger, more resilient you.

I received an advanced reader's copy in exchange for an honest review

Very thorough in terms of psych 101, more focus on resilience and radical acceptance than concrete business techniques regarding bouncing back career-wise after a flop

I enjoyed reading this book which has come at the right time for me in my career. Recognising the time to make a change can be very difficult, particularly when you are stressed out and overly involved with a toxic workplace. Developing resilience is an excellent first step, but sometimes you do have to just draw a line and move on. This book helped me to recognise that I was at that stage. Since leaving my old job, I feel that my resilience has bounced back. I will definitely revisit this book in the future.
