The perfect triumph does not exist, although they want to sell it to us that way. But, like that movie where everything went from bad to worse, The Perfect Storm, the perfect failure does exist. In the popular imagination, succeeding is a lot of work and failing is synonymous with bad luck, as if failing did not also imply effort, constant work, as if it did not depend on an iron will and daily commitment.
In this book, the author explores unexplored terrain. With humor and realism, it shows how there are voluntary elements that exist to fail. And not only to partially fail, but to reach perfect failure. Behind this exercise there is a vigorous call to build a personal system to face the fall, far from the illusion that errors cannot be part of the human being’s path towards self-understanding.
Orlando Vega Avendaño has written an exceptional debut work. The reader has in his hands an example of what G.K. Chesterton considered a paradox: the clash of two extremes in the middle of which the truth is glimpsed.
