We’ve all felt that familiar knot in our stomach when facing the possibility of failure. It’s the subject of countless articles, TED talks and self-help books: how to face it, learn from it, bounce back from it. We’ve become experts at preparing for things to go wrong.
But here’s what’s rarely discussed: our complicated relationship with things going right.
French version of Tiny Experiments
I’m writing this edition from Paris, where I get to celebrate the launch of the French edition of Tiny Experiments – out today! – with my family. This is a special moment, as my mom doesn’t speak English and will be able to read my work for the first time ever.
If you or someone you know speaks French, you can order a copy via Amazon, la Fnac, or Place des Libraires.
And if you enjoyed the book, please consider leaving an online review for your local edition. This is one of the best ways to support my work (with hopefully more books in the future).
