If learning from failure is intuitively compelling, why do we wait for it to happen? Why don’t we intentionally design for it, and harness it for deep learning? In his latest book, Manu Kapur describe his research program on Productive Failure: how, when and why intentionally designing for failure in a safe way can lead to deep learning. A must read for every educator, parent, manager, leader, athlete, entrepreneur, or someone simply passionate about learning and growth.
