F*Ck Failure
Cut along the dashed lines and pass the cards around the table.
Before we get into it: what is one small thing you tried this year that did not go the way you hoped, and can you tell it as a funny story now?
Was there a page where you felt the author was talking directly to you, and what were you doing when that happened (couch, commute, 2am)?
The book treats failure as something to say out loud rather than hide. Whose voice in your own life gave you permission to admit a flop, and how did it feel to finally say it?
Benny Blanco writes from inside a creative career where rejection is routine. Did reading that make your own setbacks feel lighter, or did it make you a little envious of how casually he shrugs?
Which piece of encouragement here did you actually believe, and which one made you think 'easy for you to say'? No wrong answers, we are all a little skeptical.
The title is loud, but a lot of the feeling underneath is tender. Where did the book feel most gentle with you, and did you need that this week?
If you could hand this book to a younger version of yourself at one specific low point, which point would you choose, and what do you think she or he would have done differently with that pep talk in hand?
By the time you closed it, had anything actually shifted in how you talk to yourself about a thing you gave up on? Be honest if the answer is 'not yet, but maybe'.
