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.

What a Postive Book

Don't Get Dead Dan. We need you and your outlook on life. You're long on America attitude. Loved listening to your story in your own voice. Glad I didn't read it but listened instead.

Grounding

Dan,

I’m hoping you see this. Started this book in the morning happy it finally dropped. I, on a daily basis wait impatiently for your podcast. Hearing this book just takes me back through my life, although I’m not that old (28) I have failed A LOT. Through those failures I have gotten to the point I’ve wanted in life for so long. It’s nice knowing that someone that’s successful is truthful and humble on their fault and failures in life.

Thank you for being and inspiring person and hopefully I can meet you some day.

Much love and thank you for what you do!

EXCELLENT

I figured this would be a good listen but I wasn't expecting it to make me laugh, get emotional, and be so grateful. We live in the greatest country on earth and I'm so grateful to have the opportunities I have, to include listening to and watching a true American Patriot (a true leader) every day. I've been a Bongino fan since inception and his level of humility and honesty is not only refreshing but EXTREMELY rare.

Dan has a series of powerful life lessons. Whether you are a fan or not (and I am a fan), it’s a great book with entertaining stories of success and the importance of persistence.
