A Must-Read for Any Investor Looking to Maximize Their Chances of
Success

Ackman, Chris Sacca, Jack Bogle, Mark Twain, John Maynard Keynes, and
many more illustrate the simple but overlooked concept that investing is
really hard, whether you're managing a few thousand dollars or a few
billion, failures and losses are part of the game. Much more than just
anecdotal diversion, these stories set the basis for the book's critical
focus: learning from mistakes. These investors all recovered from their
missteps, and moved forward armed with a wealth of knowledge than can
only come from experience. Lessons learned through failure carry a
weight that no textbook can convey, and in the case of these legendary
investors, informed a set of skills and strategy that propelled them to
