March 4, 2014 — Recommended Book: “Fail Fast, Fail Often: How Losing Can Help You Win”

A practical and common sense review of why it makes sense to try things, experiment and be open to “failure” in the pursuit of career and related goals.  The authors Ryan Babineaux and John Krumboltz, both Ph.D.s, provide many examples of successful career outcomes that only become possible after first eliminating options through trial and error learning.  Many people over-analyze things with the expectation that there is a precise formula for predicting success.  There is an emphasis on seeking out activities and goals that provide positive feedback and that are fun, enjoyable and meaningful.  The principles presented are applicable to all stages of life, especially when people are making changes, transitions or important decisions.
