Resumen del Editor

Patrick Hinds has failed. A lot. In fact, he’s kind of an expert at it—which is why he’s uniquely qualified to say that failure is a good thing.

On paper, the chubby, poor, gay son of a lesbian who wrote pornographic letters to Jesus isn’t the person that you think of when you hear the word success. Yet Patrick Hinds has somehow managed to bungle his way through to become the successful cohost of True Crime Obsessed—a podcast with more than 200 million downloads.

Before that, though, he failed at many, many things. Patrick’s life is a series of fiascos, missteps, and just plain bad ideas. An eternal optimist, he’s always thrown himself into everything he’s done, even when he probably shouldn’t have. He devoted himself to becoming an actor even though he was terrible, started a daycare even though he hated kids, and somehow had a disastrous time with Bea Arthur...even though he couldn’t be gayer.

Both heartfelt and hilarious, Failure Is Not NOT an Option lets Patrick’s signature storytelling style shine—and it’s also the only book to bravely and definitively declare:

  1. Failing simply means that you tried (and if you try enough, eventually success will be an option, too).
  2. Ted Bundy is. Not. Hot.

By trying, and yes, failing at so many things, Patrick finally found his way—to a great career, a great husband, and a great family. Along the way, there were hurdles to jump, unexpected surprises, and no shortage of laughter. Failure is Not NOT an Option is a fun and outrageous listen that will raise you up—and provide a soft landing pad for the next time you fall.

Wonderful (as expected)!

I laughed. I cried. I was motivated.

Thank you Patrick for sharing your story with us.

What a great listen!

A brutally honest, hilariously funny, ultimately human book. Patrick Hinds does not shy away from his most epic, embarrassing failures. Quite the contrary, in fact. His life philosophy is “What doesn’t kill you makes for a great story over cocktails.”

The overall message of this book is that failure just brings us one step closer to success, and if he can create a wonderful life out of some seriously excruciating missteps, there’s hope for all of us.

Perfect because it was read by the author

I loved this book. I have been a fan of Patrick Hinds' podcasts for years and feel I wouldn't have purchased the audio book if anyone else read it. Wonderful narration.

Easy Listen!

I’ve listened to P & G’s podcast since 2021 and feel in love with them both. This book is very entertaining and I flew through it. It felt like story time at happy hour. Great job Patrick!
