NEW YORK (April 4, 2022) — ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes, announced today the summer 2022 release of A Love Affair with Failure by co-authors Dr. Akintoye Akindele and Olakunle Soriyan. The official pre-order campaign will launch in Q2 2022.
Failure is too often treated as the destination of those who cannot succeed when, in reality, failure is an essential part of everyone’s journey. Failure is a precursor to success, and Dr. Akindele and Soriyan are determined to change how entrepreneurs engage with these “failure moments,” process them, and ultimately, grow from them. Dr. Akindele and Soriyan hope their work will not only help people take more risks and be more open minded about their journeys, but also create better development outcomes for the world at large.
“What Dr. Akindele and Soriyan share in their new book provides a fresh perspective for both the entrepreneur and aspiring company leader,” Bishop T.D. Jakes said in his praise of A Love Affair with Failure. “Their message is the elixir of truth in which most never partake. If you are to be a winner, you must also be prepared to fail, fall, trip, and rise back up, bloody but not beaten.”
A Love Affair with Failure focuses on destigmatizing failure and reclaiming it as a necessary step for anyone hoping to succeed. Through anecdotes from their storied careers, Dr. Akindele and Soriyan bring real-world examples to their powerful philosophy.
