Teach kids how to turn negative feelings surrounding the inevitability of failure into important life lessons. Failure is something that everyone encounters at some point in their lives, no matter how much you try to avoid it. Whether that's in school, in a friendship, or even playing your favorite sport, success is not a 100% certainty. Grown-ups, it's up to you to teach kids how to embrace it. This book doesn't paint a pretty face on failure. Instead, it rethinks what it means and shows kids how to live their lives not trying to avoid it.

Banishment from his life’s calling can’t keep a comically overconfident detective down in the latest episode by New York Times bestseller Stephan Pastis. This book was never meant to exist. No one needs to know the details. Just know this: there’s a Merry, a Larry, a missing tooth, and a teachers’ strike that is crippling Timmy Failure’s academic future. Worst of all, Timmy is banned from detective work. It’s a conspiracy of buffoons. He recorded everything in his private notebook, but then the manuscript was stolen. If this book gets out, he will be grounded for life. Or maybe longer. And will Timmy’s mom really marry Doorman Dave?

F'd Up - The UPside of Failure provides insight into why some people view failures as opportunities, a necessary step toward success while others simply quit or have an aversion to the effort required to push through. In my first book, Undefeatable, the message is clear: failure is inevitable. Don't fear them. The upside to failure describes the lessons that emerge out of the failure and the new skills we acquire from them. Failures teach us critical thinking, creative problem-solving skills and effort (work required) and attitude (motivation). The upside of (unintentional) failure is the aftermath, the time of reflection and birthing new ideas. It's what we can learn about ourselves and specific skills that we can gain from that failure or unsuccessful experience. The upside is the "benefit of opening up a new pathway of unexplored strength and resolve which would have not otherwise been realized had we not experienced the failure in the first place.
