In modern society, success is valued above all else, while mistakes are often hushed up or perceived as too painful. People either judge those who made them, including themselves, or dismiss failures as accidents. British journalist Matthew Syed believes this approach hinders learning from failures and improving. In his book, he compares two systems: one where mistakes are hidden and one where they are scrutinized. The author shows how different attitudes toward failure influence the development of organizations, the work of professionals, and the lives of ordinary people.

Matthew Syed analyzes the nature of errors in various fields—science, law, sports, technology—and explains why people tend to hide their failures. He also offers strategies to help change the way people view failures and build a ladder to success from them.
