Situations of Failure: Disapprenticeship

Christian Bourion

Chapter Chapter 4 in Emotional Logic and Decision Making, 2005, pp 120-143 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Facing failure, the actor has two options: reject or accept the situation. Rejection will protect his emotional equilibrium, acceptance will question it. Failure could give rise to a feeling of guilt which will embitter the person to the point where psychological success will be near impossible. But having made a habit of success is also a serious handicap: when luck is no longer on your side, the disapprenticeship of success can be that much more painful.
