Sometimes we need a good kick to get us going. Sometimes we need the pain of failure to reset, revise, and reassess. Are you taking risks? If so, good going. Steve Jobs was fired from the company he founded but through persistence ultimately came back to save it from extinction. Hillary Clinton failed to win the presidency but then became a powerful and respected Secretary of State.
Each of them, in their own way, failed, learned from their mistakes, and most importantly, persisted in the face of failure. Phoenix rising is the way of the world today and we are in the midst of its widespread occurrence. Now is a time of pop-up engagement, leadership, and success. Innovation demands the work of flexible teams who cooperate, co-lead, and co-create. Jobs was a hierarchical leader in a time of radical shift from singular creative to co-creative. Over time, he learned what he was best at and how to use his skills, talents, teams, and life lessons to contribute in the best way he knew how.
As a hierarchical leader, he succeeded in providing the tools you and I now use in this co-creative environment. Who would have thought it possible? We believe he did, and that he did not do it alone. We also believe you can do that too—on your own terms, with your own teams, and in your own way. Jody Turner and co-author Jerry Ketel are currently working together, co-creating new business models and outcomes in concert with their creative clients.

Fast Company Entertainment Emmy Awards It's romantic to attribute love to serendipity rather than effort, but I think enduring love is something we have to make rather than discover. The most engaging, uplifting and comedic stories come from our efforts to create and sustain love in difficult circumstances with imperfect human materials. I've ranked my selection of love stories in order of increasing degree of difficulty.
The Rosie Project, in which Don Tillman's social ineptitude is the main obstacle, would fall somewhere in the middle.
I have sidestepped the romantic challenges faced by vampires. Bridget Jones's Diary by Helen Fielding Bridget Jones suffers no mental or physical illness; there is no war going on around her; she faces no real obstacle besides her own personality. Everyone's heard of this book, but I suspect not many men read it.

The eponymous protagonist is a screenwriter and novelist, but I read Daniel Martin before I had ambitions of being either. If there was a connection, it was with the idea of love being thwarted by circumstances but never entirely extinguished.
Daniel's love is for his friend's wife Jane, who is also the sister of his estranged wife. When his friend dies, Daniel is in a new relationship, but decides to take Jane on a cruise to the Middle East. When I read Daniel Martin 25 years ago, I was well placed to judge his rendering of the moral dilemma and emotional turmoil, though not to the extent of "wife's sister", which I'd suggest is a no-go zone.
Florentino and Fermina fall in love in their youth, but Fermina's father and then Fermina herself stand in the way of Florentino. Despite Fermina marrying what in a romantic comedy would be called the Bellamy character — the respectable choice — Florentino waits.

When does devotion become obsession? The nearest thing to a sister novel to The Rosie Project: There's a strong comedic thread, laced with wry self-awareness. Grace's obsession is with numbers and counting. Seamus comes into her life and is initially accepting — but then wants her to take medication. Addition copped some flak for finding comedy in mental illness and supposedly encouraging sufferers not to take their meds: Matthew Quick specialises in the marginalised.
Bartholomew, mocked at school for being a "retard", has lived with his mother for all of his 38 years. When she dies, he has to strike out on his own, with the help of the maverick local priest, a man diagnosed with bipolar disorder. The love interest is a psychologically-damaged library volunteer.

Her alien-believing housemate completes the motley crew as they set out on a road trip to meet Bartholomew's father. Oh, and it's written as a series of letters to Richard Gere. Yes, I like Matthew Quick. This is his best-known novel, thanks to the film with Robert De Niro. Unlike in the film, Pat is not labelled bipolar, but he definitely has some issues. So does Tiffany — who finds something of value in Pat and goes after it with tenacity and ingenuity. It's interesting how many of the books on this list have been made into or optioned as films:
