Drawing inspiration from anecdotes, science, sport, thinkers such as Machiavelli, Montaigne and Sandel, but also Mike Tyson, Bruce Lee and Roger Federer, Gianrico Carofiglio tells us about the joy of conscious ignorance and the phenomenal opportunities that arise from recognising our mistakes. Learning, when possible, to profit from them.

An unexpected reflection on two words that do not enjoy a good reputation. A joyful celebration of our humanity.
