The Book
Başarısızlık, Başarı, Mutluluk
Lessons distilled from 40 years in business: facing failure, making success sustainable, and not losing happiness along the way.
About the Book
The book draws on the author's working and personal life across Türkiye, Europe and the United States over more than 40 years, around three themes: facing failure and learning from it, making success sustainable, and not losing happiness in the middle of it all.
Does the road to success really run through failure? Drawing on his own life, Beşir Kemal Ustaoğlu shows how disappointments and setbacks can become the steps towards better days.
