Whether you are confronting â€œfailureâ€ in the form of fear, imposter syndrome, or negative feedback, this book provides insights and exercises to help you reframe these vulnerabilities as vital components to your process. Working artists from all walks of lifeâ€”such as musicians, authors, filmmakers, dancers, designers, and visual artistsâ€”offer their advice throughout the book, providing ample evidence that even the most accomplished among us deal with ongoing self-doubt.Part memoir, part zine, part â€œhow-to,â€ and part oral history, in How to Fail Successfully author and curator Brandon Stosuy taps into his own experiences and an incredible network of talent to provide diverse (and diverging) perspectives on how success and failure are intertwined.
