Let’s face it: we all want a chair at the great table, a great job, and plenty of money. But the majority of us won’t end up being able to accomplish that widely recognized, black-or-white, description of winning, making us feel like failures, that we’re destined to a life of loserdom. That’s the standard wisdom. It’s also crap, relating to comedian and cult hero Chris Gethard, who understands a thing of two about dropping. Failing can be an talent, he argues; in fact, it’s the just the way we’re ever going to discover who we are, what we really want, and how exactly to live the type of existence we only wished for.

Setting fire to vision planks and tossing out the ‘seven simple measures’ to achieving anything, the web host of the eponymous Trutv talk show as well as the wildly popular podcast Beautiful Stories from Anonymous People illustrates his personal and professional manifesto with hilarious and ultimately empowering stories about his own set-backs, missteps, and general public failures, in the cancellation of his Comedy Central sitcom after seven shows to rediscovering his comedic voice and life’s purpose on a public access route.

With his trademark wit and inspiring storytelling-a cross between David Sedaris and Jenny Lawson-Gethard teaches us how to power through our very own hero’s journey, whether we’re a 15-year-old starting a punk band or a 50-year-old mother of three launching an Etsy page. Along the way, he shows us how exactly to fail with grace, laugh along the way down, so that as we dust ourselves off, how exactly to transform unavoidable failures into countless opportunities. It could get a little messy, but that’s exactly the point. Because the first step in living on your own terms is usually learning how to drop well, and more often than not, the revolutionary take action of failing lets us witness firsthand what awaits us on the other side.
