The Rise

This book was a surprise. I did not expect to enjoy it or find it interesting but in truth I have really enjoyed reading this book. In fact, after the first few pages I had to put it down to go find a pen and a highlighter so I could start making notes (always a good sign).

It is definitely not a light or easy read but well worth the effort. Lewis's exploration of failure and the role it plays in mastering a skill, art, subject, ect. is captivating. Her approach could be considered a collection of short stories about various people's lives with her own insights written throughout. I would absolutely recommend this book.
