To be human is to fail — period. And not just to fail once, but to fail a lot. As the author Samuel Beckett said: “Fail again. Fail better.” Why are we, and so many others, so deeply concerned by failure?

This is an episode of Fail Better with David Duchovny, from Lemonada Media.
Join host David Duchovny as he sits down with actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani as they share Kumail’s recently found new ways of approaching his life, relationship and career with more presence and joy, rather than stressing about the outcome.
