Surviving Failure and a Few Successes ― The Crushing Experience of Epic Failure, Followed by Epic Success, Followed By...

More than a recounting of two bankruptcies and a dizzying experience publishing New York Times bestselling cookbooks, Good reflects on living in the clutch of failure while trying to restore confidence in himself and rebuild his business. Good acknowledges the searing questions he faced in dark times and in moments of out-of-control success: Who can I trust—and who will trust me? When the false gossip is overwhelming, do I ignore it or do my best to counter it? Good offers transferable survival tips, weaving in advice from well known figures who experienced failure yet went on to live productively and positively. This bracingly honest book about the struggles of failure, and of wild success, is also a story of hard-won hope and endurance.
