Publisher's summary

This audiobook version of The Gift of Failure contains spontaneous added commentary from Dan Bongino, not available in print.

Dan Bongino’s brutally honest, deeply personal, and unforgettable stories about how he transformed failures into victories will enthrall, entertain, and inspire listeners.

In The Gift of Failure, leading conservative commentator Dan Bongino identifies failures in his life and how those failures led to bigger and better things. With the same laser-focused intensity that has made him one of America’s most popular voices, Bongino uncompromisingly cuts to the heart of failure with a collection that is inspirational, motivational, entertaining, touching, and redemptive. The former Secret Service agent currently hosts one of the country’s most listened-to radio programs along with a top-rated podcast and the popular Fox News television show Unfiltered.

Throughout his career, Bongino has helped trailblaze a fight for free speech and free expression, garnering many national headlines for taking on some of the biggest tech companies in the world to challenge their seemingly draconian censorship policies. Along the way, through his many David versus Goliath battles, Bongino has learned the hard way why failure matters.

In The Gift of Failure, he shares, in vivid detail, many of these experiences—from high-profile, front-page stories involving the drama behind Parler and Rumble, to never-before-shared personal tales covering his childhood, the Secret Service, the media, a recent serious health battle, and much more. Bongino’s vulnerability, coupled with his unapologetic honesty and humor, help illuminate many life lessons.

This is unforgettable storytelling as only Bongino can deliver. Whether you agree with him or not, there’s something here for everyone.

So Relatable

I appreciate his candor and transparency in his book. In a world where the values of integrity, kindness, grit, respect, and basic humanity it’s refreshing to know that there are real people fighting to keep the foundation from crumbling. I fail every single day in some fashion. Thank you for encouraging me to reach for a better tomorrow and a better me.

Being narrated by Dan is better than reading

It went by too quick especially when you listen to him regularly. Great points and if you need a little pick me up it’s worth it. For me it’s great to have even more insight into people we trust for news and commentary. Real people have real life experiences that can help so listen up.

Excellent Life Stories to Learn From

Dan Bongino shares life's experiences enabling the reader to learn from his mistakes and inspire others to keep picking yourself up after a failure and being humble enough to learn from it until success is accomplished. The book inspires me to overcome my fears and try things that I've always thought of doing, but was held back by fear of failure. I'm making my kids listen to this too...inspiration every kid needs to hear.

Thanks Dan!

About the audio

Loved the book. However, the audio was hard to listen to. The trailing off at the end of a sentence left me missig the last few words of the sentence. Turning it up to hear the end only meant having to blast the first half. Other than that, it was a good book.

Totally Enjoyed!!!

I couldn’t stop listening. I was able to listen to Dan read the entire book in 2 sessions! Some sections comical and others very emotional but all told with Bongino Style. Don’t hesitate to get it!
