I've suggested for years, on this site no less, that people share their failure stories and we could compile them somewhere into a book.
However nobody wants to share them because they are worried that they will be seen...as failures - a reasonable position to take honestly.
The only people that seem to be happy to share failures are currently successful people, and they generally don't have either the time or inclination to wax poetic about their failures.
