Publisher's summary

A USA Today best seller!

Chasing Failure will help you remove every excuse for not pursuing the life you want to live, and that failure may just be the quickest way to success. Includes audiobook-exclusive behind-the-scenes content after each chapter!

We all have something we’d love to do, but often our fear of failure outweighs the potential of our destiny. But what if we found out that failure could actually help us succeed?

In Chasing Failure, Ryan Leak shares the science behind why people are afraid to fail, mixing in real-life stories and adding practical steps to help us intentionally chase failure in order to embrace the opportunities that come with it. Everyone fails in life — but if you’re willing to learn, improve, and grow because of your failures, you are already on the road to success.

As a motivational speaker, whether addressing people in corporations, churches, or youth events, Ryan has a message of hope: Failure is right around the corner, so be brave enough to chase it! The good life is on the other side, and as he says, “God promises to be with you always, even through the failure.”

Packed with wisdom, specific strategies, and a key takeaway included at the end of each chapter, Chasing Failure will help you:

  • Explore whether your dream idea is worth pursuing.
  • Count the cost and create an action plan for your idea.
  • Learn how to effectively deal with criticism.
  • Understand how to embrace failure and learn how it can propel you.

By blending personal stories, get-up-and-go encouragement, and practical step-by-step advice, Ryan Leak will show you how chasing failure could be the quickest way to success.

Inspiring

This book was easy to listen to because Ryan is a great speaker. It makes a huge difference to hear the author speaking/teaching on their subject versus someone reading words. Thank you Ryan for this content, it’s what I needed to hear at a crossroads in life looking ahead to what could be next.

I knew Liz personally 🤍 she was such a light! Great book Ryan!

I wish there was a daily motivation that went with the book or a workbook that could help you visualize your dream

Very inspiring

Very motivating and inspiring. A totally new way to view failure. Loved listening to this. And the guy read is well. There was one chapter where there was a glitch, but I guess that’s part of failure. Lol.

This Has Been Life Changing

My fear of failure was debilitating. I came up with every excuse and reason to “not“. Ryan presents a fresh perspective and insight that is not anything I have ever heard anywhere else. Especially loved the fact that he included that the advice of “never giving up“ is not really the best advice. So true! And so many truths found in this book. So thankful I stumbled on it.

A very different self-help book

Initially, I couldn’t get past the author’s “podcast sphere” vibes. But I kept listening and ended up really enjoying the book. I think the premise of this book is explained by the title pretty well. However, I didn’t expect its messages and tone to be as concise and down to earth as it is. What I particularly liked was the author implementing reader questions about previous versions of the book (and the author’s life). I haven’t seen this done with a self-help book before and have to commend the author for doing so. It really makes sense and serves to underline the main ideas. Overall, I’m very happy I found this book and know I will keep coming back to it for reference.
