Success is often just a moment a goal fulfilled, soon to be replaced with new goals. But failure is the ambitious persons constant companion, often dogging us for months, years or even decades before we finally reach our aim. In the groundbreaking book Why People Fail, Siimon Reynolds, one of the worlds most successful entrepreneurs, explores the main causes of failure, in any field, and reveals solutions for overcoming them and creating a successful personal and professional life. Why People Fail offers strategies and ideas for defeating the sixteen most common failure habits such as destructive thinking, low productivity, stress, fixed mindset, lack of daily rituals, and more.

Why People Fail offers strategies and tips for beating 16 failure habits: 1) Unclear purpose 2) Destructive thinking 3) Low productivity 4) Fixed mindset 5) Weak energy 6) Not asking the right questions 7) Poor presentation skills 8) Mistaking IQ for EQ 9) Poor self image 10) Not enough thinking 11) No daily rituals 12) Stress 13) Few relationships 14) Lack of persistence 15) money obsession 16) not focusing on your strengths

Many people have changed their lives by mastering just one of the timeless principles in this book. Master five or ten and your life will rocket to a totally new level.
