Book Review — Failed? In Crisis?…It’s time to Elevate by Chaudhry Mannish

Failed? In Crisis?…It’s time to Elevate by Chaudhry Mannish is a short crisp book in the self-development genre. It offers insights into failure and what positive aspects one can take from it. Often failure is deemed, in our societies, a sign of weakness and incapability. However, the book has an otherwise opinion — it is the failure that layers the base of success. No one can succeed without failures. Failures are as important as success.

Contrastingly, people celebrate success, they get recognition due to success in goals and achievements and careers. But the underlying fact is that people are apprehensively panicked about the fear of failure more than failure. This book simply brings the lessons that are associated with failure but critical to success. With failure exists success like Yin and Yang, day & night.

The book offers many valuable advice/lessons from around the world and author’s personal lives that readers can embrace if they wish to change their perspective about failures in life, for instance the author highlighted SMART methodology…and ‘What if I’.

By studying failure the book takes a stance on the psychology and intentional mindset that works in the favour of success. The evident theme and message in the book is loud and clear: don’t escape or avoid the fear of failure, try and fail better. As the author asserts positively that if one doesn’t try, he/she is 100 percent failure, and if one fails while trying it is 50 percent failure and paves for learning and improvements that can handle success in the following attempts. In nutshell not to be obsessed with failures, embrace it, and it will open up the doors for success for life’s all endeavors.

Mannish explains the mechanism of failure and success in life through various examples and references…best ones are self-care, resilience, and debt management. He makes you believe that failure is not a stigma; rather it can nudge one for growth and aspirations by providing opportunities in the chaos.

The book is available to buy from Amazon and Kindle
