Fail, Fail Again, Fail Better

Wise Advice for Leaning into the Unknown

By: Pema Chödrön, Seth Godin - introduction

Narrated by: Pema Chödrön

When her granddaughter was accepted to Naropa University, the celebrated author Pema Chödrön promised that she’d speak at the commencement ceremony.

Fail, Fail Again, Fail Better contains the wisdom shared on that day.

“What do we do when life doesn’t go the way we hoped?” begins Pema. “We say ‘I’m a failure.’"

But what if failing wasn’t just “okay” . . . but the most direct way to becoming a more complete, loving, and fulfilled human being?

Here, Pema Chödrön offers us her heartfelt advice on facing the unknown—in ourselves and in the world—and how our missteps can open our eyes to see new possibilities and purpose.

For readers of all faiths who are at a life crossroads, this brilliant gem of kindness and clarity is sure to earn its place in our kitchens, offices, and backpacks, ready to help us get back on our feet and into our hearts.

Includes an in-depth interview with Pema Chödrön and Tami Simon.

Amazing!!!💜💜💜🧚 I LOVE Pema. She is good medicine for any time and anyone:). listen to If you are going through a tough time and maybe feeling regret, fear, or shame dot-dot-dot but also a great listen for anyone just wanting to refresh them self on this very relevant grounded topic.

Best advice ever for getting yourself unstuck!

I loved how Pema disclosed her path to become a nun and it was different than I had heard about before. Also it was revealing to hear about her spiritual upbringing, her romantic nature with men and her time in Northern New Mexico.

This brief interview encapsulates a few direct and amazing methods to getting unstuck from fear and inertia and spotlights our human nature to seek comfort at all costs and invites us to reconnect with our full humanity which includes courageous acts of presence in times where we would rather run or numb ourselves to reality when it presents itself in a manner other than our wishes.
