Failosophy for Teens by Elizabeth Day
Failosophy is a book written for teens on the subject of failure. It provides a seven step coping method which is interlaced with tips and true stories from a selection of celebrities.
Author Elizabeth Day has written this book in conjunction with her podcasts and live shows. It is an interesting subject, particularly with so much peer and social media pressure that focuses on success. Everyone fails at something and this book looks at ways to see adverse outcomes as life-lessons, and it also offers advice on how to cope with lack of success in many spheres of life.
The teen years can be tough, so this book may be very useful, especially to someone who feels isolated and alone due to their perception of their own failures.

Hi Rosie, this book sounds very interesting. Failure is very much in the eyes of the beholder, but perceived failure can definitely plunge people into despair.
