## Resource

What do you do after things fall apart—and what do you do in the split second before you make the same choice again? In this episode, Steve Kamb’s How to Try Again and Jonathan Rhodes and Joanna Grover’s The Choice Point offer a practical guide to getting unstuck. Kamb shows why failure doesn’t send us back to square one, while Rhodes and Grover explain how the small decision points in everyday life can move us closer to the future we actually want. Together, these books make a reassuring case for self-compassion, clearer choices, and beginning again—on purpose. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at nextbigideaclub.com ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
