Fail, Fail Again, Fail Better: (H) Wise Advice for Leaning into the Unknown by Pema Chödrön

Fail, Fail Again, Fail Better brings Pema Chödrön’s Naropa University commencement address into book form. The occasion was personal: she had promised to speak when her granddaughter entered the university.

Its advice invites reflection on failure and moving toward what is not yet known. A compact read for graduates and others at a turning point, rather than a comprehensive course in Buddhist doctrine or meditation.
