First Teach Your Kid To (Succeed) Fail is a book about bringing up kids so they may grow up to be successful entrepreneurs.
In a country like India, education system has yet to embrace risk-taking, striving and failing. That is why India produces so few entrepreneurs despite our population, literacy and institutes of higher education. While academically gifted children often grow up to be valuable employees, the entrepreneur is a slightly different breed.
What are the qualities and attitudes of a successful entrepreneur? Do successful people play the game differently? Do they value something other than success? What if “do not fail” is the worst advice to give our children?
This book quickly shows parents what tendencies in their children to encourage and which to nip. You will learn the crucial difference between growth versus fixed mindset. You will find which words of encouragement are actually a shackle and what to say instead -when they fail and also when they succeed. You will learn that the child who is not worried about failing, and who loves to struggle for long on difficult problems is best equipped to make it big. Most importantly, you will understand what you can do to raise such a child.
In short, read this to give your kid the best chance of future success.

First Teach Your Kid To (Succeed) Fail: Parenting Tips To Bring Up An Entrepreneur is an ultra-short read on parenting.
As the title suggests, this book talks about why we should not ponder our kids to always succeed. It tells us that we should let our kids explore and win/lose on their own. If they don't fail they won't understand the value of success, more important lesson about how not to fail.
The book is written with good intentions, but very very short in content. Especially if priced at 99 INR then it should have more than just a few introductory topics. The author could have given more example if she didn't want to give more theory.
Well, an informative light read for sure.

Success is the only point where we humans lay our focus. We are hardwired to consider it over anything else. We have been brought up listening to stories of success and how having one makes you powerful. And perhaps, that's the reason we are so obsessed with success that we fail to take notice of failure.
First Teach Your Kid To Fail is a concise book written by Garima Gupta keeping the importance of failures in growing in mind. In her lucid writing style, she enumerates the gifts of failing followed by the tips to parents as to how they can teach their progenies to take failure in their stride. There is no long prose, verbosity, or abundant elaborate explanations. Rather the author has chosen to keep her point precisely to direct the focus of the readers to the central theme. Indeed, the book is a refreshing and short read not just for parents but in my opinion, for everyone. I found it quite encouraging and positive. I would have definitely loved if the points would have been discussed more. Agreed, that short and simple is effective but supplementing the facts with examples or citations always work. Otherwise, the book could be referred to for an important topic being broached in it.
