How can failure be embraced and turned into success, and how can that success be used to make a difference in the world? J. K. Rowling's experiences with failure and suffering can teach you how to discover your strengths and focus on your dreams to achieve success.

Very Good Lives studies some of the most important life lessons communicated by J. K. Rowling in her 2008 Harvard University commencement speech. The events of her inspiring life act as a guide on how to embrace failure and will help you see the benefits of every setback. This book also explains the author's views on the important role imagination can play in using your success to make a meaningful difference in the world.

You will learn:

· What important self-knowledge you can gain from failure

· How imagining the suffering of others can inspire you to do something to change the world

· Why pursing a dream in what you love is the only way to truly succeed.
