    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    As you read this summary, you will discover how to make failures surmountable and survive in an ever-changing world. 


    You will also discover :


    • how adapting is the best way to overcome daily challenges;
    • how some of the world's organizations have thrived through trial and error;
    • how adaptive processes can best address global issues such as global warming and poverty;
    • that failure is necessary because it leads to better projects.

    Tim Harford is an economist and journalist. He is particularly known for his economic columns in the "Financial Times". In his seminal book Fail if you want to succeed! he provides a how-to guide to help you survive in a complex, hyper-connected world in which effective planning seems impossible. It offers the opportunity to make failure positive, by learning to adapt and learn from every mistake.
