Review Quotes:

"How to Try Again is a fun rebuttal to toxic positivity and a world full of over-optimized morning routines. Steve Kamb tells the truth: humans are weird and change is hard. Honest, funny, and genuinely useful for making the next attempt stick."
-MARK MANSON, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck

"How to Try Again is like a warm, insightful pep talk from your best friend. Kamb pushes back against unrealistic optimization culture and offers humane, practical tools for navigating life when things don't go as planned. This big-hearted book is packed with stories and humor that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page."
- DAVID EPSTEIN, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Range and The Sports Gene

"Insightful, helpful, funny, wise. Whether you're pursuing an improvement in your day-to-day life, building the next big thing, or weathering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Steve Kamb is a brilliant guide."
- JOSH KAUFMAN, bestselling author of The Personal MBA and The First 20 Hours

"Lasting change isn't about forcing yourself to try harder--it's about changing what you believe will happen next. How to Try Again shows why setbacks don't erase progress, and how the stories we tell ourselves after failure determine whether we recover or retreat. This book is a practical guide to rebuilding momentum by reshaping expectations, restoring agency, and making trying again feel possible."
-NIR EYAL , bestselling author of Beyond Belief and Indistractable

"This book is helpful, vulnerable, and inspiring. If you're in the midst of a pivot, a change, or a plateau, this book is for you and Steve Kamb is your guide."
- VANESSA VAN EDWARDS, behavioral researcher and bestselling author of Cues and Captivate

"In a culture obsessed with optimization, failure often feels like the end of the story. In How to Try Again, Steve Kamb reframes failure as an invitation to pause and experiment. This is a compassionate and deeply practical guide to navigating failure with curiosity."
-ANNE-LAURE LE CUNFF, neuroscientist and bestselling author of Tiny Experiments.

"From the founder of Nerd Fitness comes a refreshingly honest guide to embracing failure, letting go of impossible expectations, and learning how to start over with compassion and resilience." - The Harvard Coop

"Enlivened with plenty of personal anecdotes and a solid dose of self-deprecating humor, it's an upbeat invitation to start afresh."
