Libro: Fail Fast, Fail Often

Fail Fast, Fail Often, by Ryan Babineaux

Book 21 of 100

“Do it badly as fast as you can.”

Interesting read, although I’d say the title is a little misleading.

I went into this expecting something more focused on failure itself, how to recover from it, learn quickly, and keep moving.

Instead, the book revolves around one central idea but branches out into a lot of other areas of self-development.

Try things.

Stop waiting until you feel completely ready.

Experiment.

Be willing to look stupid.

And most importantly, don’t spend so much time preparing for something that you never actually start.

That part I liked.

Sometimes doing something badly is still better than spending months trying to figure out the perfect way to begin.

You learn more from actually doing the thing.

Still, the book felt a little scattered for me.

It's like Seth Godin’s style.

There are plenty of good ideas and quotable lines, but they sometimes feel like thoughts that would work better as individual blog posts than as one whole book.

So yeah.

Not bad.

Not particularly memorable either.

Just another ordinary read with a few good reminders hidden between the pages.
