Anita Campbell and the folks at Small Business Trends reviewed Bounce! today. Here is an excerpt of the review:
“Given that entrepreneurs are more likely to fail than to succeed, and even those that succeed have some failures along the way, it’s really important for people to figure out how to deal with failure. As Barry points out in the book, the typical kind of failure doesn’t result in the Rocky-movie-type redemption that most books on business failure discuss.
I’ve already put several examples from his book into my entrepreneurship class lectures. To me, his points about one-hit-wonders, the timing of failure, the random walk in business, decision making, and the rarity of the redemption-from-failure stereotype, are particularly important and worth the cost of the book.”
