The Rise by Sarah Lewis

The Rise by Sarah Lewis

An inspiring book about what it means to be human as we struggle for mastery in our various spheres.

'Lewis's voice is so lyrical and engaging that her book, "The Rise", can be read in one sitting' 'The New York Times' 'Sarah Lewis has assembled a rich trove of reflections not just on creativity but on the too-often ignored role that failure and surrender play in almost any ambitious undertakingThat counter-intuitive point of attack makes "The Rise" a welcome departure from standard accounts of artistry and innovation' Lewis Hyde, author of 'The Gift' 'The Rise provides a map across the chasms of self-doubt that separate even the brightest, most ambitious people from success. Sarah Lewis's keen and generous insights will convince you that dead ends can have a dazzling afterlife, that failure can provide the impetus and the freedom to find mastery, innovation, even genius' Andrew Solomon, author of 'Far from the Tree' 'Like Malcolm Gladwell, Sarah Lewis brilliantly takes complex ideas and makes them easy to follow, making it possible for us to see the world in a brand-new way' Edwidge Danticat, author of 'Create Dangerously'
