About this ebook
Why do some failures inspire breakthroughs and others breakdowns?
Most new products fail. So do most businesses. And most of us, if we are honest, have experienced a major setback in our personal or professional lives. Drawing on cutting-edge research in science, psychology and economics, The Up Side of Down argues that failure is how people and businesses learn. But you have to learn to fail well.
Exploring her own experiences of failure – losing her job and sending CVs into a void, desperately clinging to a relationship that was clearly not working – McArdle shows how to recognize when you're in a rut and how to dig your way out and bounce back successfully.
Thought-provoking and inspiring, 10 Ways to Bounce Back in Business and Life just might change the way you see the world.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Really like McArdle's writing. She calls herself a libertarian, but I'm not sure why... Her views on government, taxes, etc. seem very moderate to me. Anyway I liked the book a lot - some failure is inevitable so the trick is to prepare, fail gracefully, and recover from it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Up Side of Down: Why Failing Well is the Key to Success by Megan McArdle was an enjoyable read recommended to me by a friend.In the book McArdle looks at a variety of aspects having to do with failure from types of failure to recovering from failure to the effect of failure on the American economy. She used various stories of famous failures as well as more personal stories from her own life. I felt that she did a good job of presenting her evidence and points without being overly pushy about a personal agenda.One of the more interesting aspects of the book were the comparisons between American views of failure and the European views of failure. In America, being a CEO of a failed company is considered something of a resume builder because companies will believe that the CEO learned from their mistakes. In Europe, being the CEO of a failed company is a career killer.A very interesting read that I would recommend to pretty much anybody. While there is some economic and psychological jargon it manages to stay pretty light and easy to read.
