By Megan McArdle (Author)

“The Up Side of Down: Why Failing Well is the Key to Success reminds us that although it’s a tough pill to swallow, failure is a necessary evil in reaping the rewards of success.”

Megan McArdle is a spectacular failure—or at least that’s how she describes herself in the opening pages of her latest book. With great wit and self-effacing prose, McArdle relates the rocky road that defined her professional life and the nearly impossible task of finding a stable job.
