The Failure Paradox | Shira Myrow | TEDxCulverCity

Implicit in the fear we have of failure is a call to action or invitation into acceptance of our limitations. But when we become stuck in the shame and the negative emotions that swirl around our perception of failure,  it blocks us from addressing the real questions at hand. It also blocks from getting the real value out of the experience.  Shira Myrow delves into the behavioural science to reveal why some of us are wired to protect ourselves from being able to courageously confront  the changes that failures invite us to take on.

We’ll also discover how compassionate inquiry  can help soften the  powerful negative emotions that obscure the important questions we need to ask, questions that would help us get back into the ring to move forward with our lives. Failure is the quintessential form of adaptation.
