Who today does not need a plan B, raise your hand! Through the examples and words of those who, with courage, tenacity, and passion, have succeeded in overcoming their limitations, this book highlights what elements are needed to engineer a good Plan B, starting with the first and most important one: being inspired by those who have succeeded. Winston Churchill argued that success is the ability to go from one failure to another without losing enthusiasm. Life is an obstacle course but – as Stephen Hawking, who has overcome many challenges, would add – there is always something you can do to overcome them. In other words: there is always a Plan B. Otherwise Albert Einstein would have continued as a clerk in the patent office in Bern instead of winning the Nobel Prize in physics. From Charlie Chaplin to Steven Spielberg, from Àgota Kristóf to Oprah Winfrey, there are many people who have become famous after facing rejection and failure. If they had not stuck it out, the world would not be the same. Their stories show the importance of reacting constructively to difficulties, whatever they may be, and offer insights to each of us on how to make every defeat an opportunity to start over and redeem ourselves…until the next fiasco.
