Win at Losing: How Our Biggest Setbacks Can Lead to Our Greatest Gains Free Audiobook Download by Sam Weinman
Have you ever failed at something that was important to you? Did a sport, relationship, or career derail your plans? If so, it's easy to feel defeat, like you've lost. But I promise you: You haven't. For one thing, failure can sometimes lead us to greater achievements. It can help us gain clarity. And in some cases, it even makes us stronger overall. That's what Bernie Madoff learned when he failed at running a Ponzi scheme. That's what many people learn from a failed marriage or job interview.
Many of us want to win, but the truth is that winning and losing are subjective experiences. Whether we succeed or fail, we always seem to be in pursuit of something better. In this audiobook, Sam Weinman teaches how our biggest setbacks can lead to our greatest gains.
Lose. Fail. Lose again. Give up. Losers don't win. Winners don't quit. We know this, but for some reason we stop fighting the battle of life and start giving up when the going gets tough - when our backs are up against the wall and all we can do is squint through a pile of dirt with only one arm free to block incoming blows from scorpions that are closing in on us with poisonous stingers ready to release their lethal venom at any moment...
All counterintuitive things are worth taking note of, and "Win at Losing" is one of them. Whether you're breaking through a plateau, struggling to get back on track, or just don't know how to make it work for you, Weinman's book will help you find a way out.
Sam Weinman, the author of this book, is a former US Marine who was amputee and lost a leg in Afghanistan when his helicopter crashed. His story is not just one of overcoming the odds; it's about how he found success in life by taking on the biggest setbacks he could find and turning them into something positive.
This is a book of short stories from people who have 'won at losing'. We've all had them, but let's face it, when we lose, we really lose. Sam Weinman shares their stories of what they did to turn these setbacks into winning moments.
