Publisher's Summary

I have done my best to name the thoughts, feelings, and opportunities that accompany the journey through failure, because in naming a thing we gain power over it. What I ultimately hope for are empowered men and women who confidently embrace their stories to live more effectively and wholeheartedly in the world.

Fail fast, fail often, fail forward...

We live in an age that acknowledges the importance of failure to success. Yet our relentless focus on success can leave us ill-prepared for the trauma, grief, and confusion that can accompany failure, whether in business, relationships, or life.

We all have experiences that shatter our sense of self and leave us gasping to breathe. The aftermaths of these experiences are rich seasons in which we can experience tremendous personal flourishing, but few of us are prepared for them or have trustworthy guides.

In Eating Glass, Air Force officer, Stanford PhD, and serial entrepreneur Mark D. Jacobsen has written a compassionate and practical guide to navigating these seasons. Drawing on his own experiences - including a failed humanitarian nonprofit and a grueling PhD process - he guides listeners through four stages: Failure, aftermath, healing, and renewal. With unflinching honesty and a consistently redemptive spirit, he names the thoughts and feelings we all experience in these seasons, giving listeners permission to embrace their own stories.

Eating Glass provides steady assurance that we are never alone in our journeys, and that our seasons of failure are fertile times in which we grow.
