Critics Review

Kamb tells the truth: humans are weird and change is hard. Honest, funny and genuinely useful for making the next attempt stick – Mark Manson, number one New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
Insightful, helpful, funny, wise. Whether you’re pursuing an improvement in your day-to-day life, building the next big thing or weathering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Steve Kamb is a brilliant guide – Josh Kaufman, bestselling author of The Personal MBA and The First 20 Hours
How to Try Again shows why setbacks don’t erase progress, and how the stories we tell ourselves after failure determine whether we recover or retreat. This book is a practical guide to rebuilding momentum by reshaping expectations, restoring agency and making trying again feel possible – Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Beyond Belief and Indistractable
How to Try Again is like a warm, insightful pep talk from your best friend.

This big-hearted book is packed with stories and humour that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page – David Epstein, number one New York Times bestselling author of Range and The Sports Gene
In a culture obsessed with optimization, failure often feels like the end of the story. In How to Try Again, Steve Kamb reframes failure as an invitation to pause and experiment. This is a compassionate and deeply practical guide to navigating failure with curiosity – Anne-Laure Le Cunff, neuroscientist and bestselling author of Tiny Experiments
