India, October 15, 2024 — Renowned learning scientist Prof. Manu Kapur officially launches his revolutionary book, Productive Failure: Unlocking Deeper Learning Through the Science of Failing, now available for purchase on Amazon India. Published by Wiley/Jossey-Bass, this transformative book offers educators, leaders, entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners powerful, evidence-based strategies to leverage failure for deeper learning, critical thinking, and innovation.
In Productive Failure, Prof Kapur unpacks his groundbreaking theory that failure, when intentionally designed, can be a key driver of success. Drawing on over two decades of research, the book demonstrates how productive failure can be applied in classrooms, workplaces, and personal development settings to foster resilience, creativity, and deeper learning experiences.
“Failure is often misunderstood as a setback when, in fact, it can be an opportunity for profound growth,” says Manu Kapur. “In Productive Failure, I share practical strategies on how to harness failure as a signal for learning, rather than a deterrent. It’s about pushing learners and teams outside their comfort zones to achieve lasting success.”
Kapur’s research has gained global recognition, with applications in schools, universities, and organizational leadership around the world. His work has also received substantial media attention, and he is a sought-after keynote speaker on the global stage.
Now available on Amazon India, Productive Failure offers key techniques such as retrieval practice, generative problem-solving, and motivational hacking, designed to unlock deeper learning and help individuals and teams thrive in today’s fast-paced world.
