Elizabeth Gilbert in a recent Ted Talk analyses the way we experience great failure and the way we experience great success.
In this moving video she describes how “for most of our lives, we live out our existence here in the middle of the chain of human experience where everything is normal and reassuring and regular, but failure catapults us abruptly way out over here into the blinding darkness of disappointment.

And there’s a real equal danger in both cases of getting lost out there… in the hinterlands of the psyche.”

In his Ted Talk Alain de Botton examines our ideas of success and failure — and questions the assumptions underlying these two judgments.

Coming together is a beginning.
Keeping together is progress.
