The Art of Getting It Wrong: Finding Good in the Misadventures of Life

Written by Stephen Miller and Cole Labrant

Narrated by Stephen Miller, Mark Smeby and Amanda Miller

Failures don't need to be final, and disappointment doesn't need to be defining. Come along on a wild, hilarious, faith-building ride, and let The Art of Getting It Wrong guide you toward hope for the future and the freedom to love your life exactly where you are.

Long before his YouTube channel, The Miller Fam, became a viral sensation, Stephen Miller got a ton of things wrong. He knows what it's like to endure countless failed endeavors, make too many rash decisions, and feel deep discouragement when life doesn't go as planned--sometimes all before breakfast. But those experiences taught him a powerful lesson: it's going to be okay.

With the characteristic authenticity, love, and humor Stephen shows in his YouTube videos, The Art of Getting It Wrong offers timeless truths and never-before-told stories of misadventures and out-of-control disappointments that will encourage you to:

• See the good at work in your life, even when you make mistakes
• Look for the laugh in every situation
• Embrace the truth--whether it's a warm hug or a kick in the teeth
• Believe in yourself and grow in your sense of self-worth
• Discover the power of grace, both for others and for yourself

Join Stephen as he shares what it means to turn failures, mishaps, and disappointments into a life of fun and fulfillment--even when it's not what you expected.

Reviews for The Art of Getting It Wrong

[Lisa M · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Best moments of the book: (spoilers)
Like we hear on every youtube video, "what's up beautiful people"
Adam and Eve having floating bones and organs cz they didnt have skin??
I'm not even going to say anything about the iphone other than laugh in disbelief. Hilariously psycho moment
The judge's response. I'm trying not to spoil it? a lesson learnt by everyone
I really love the bonus podcast-like segments of Stephen and Amanda and just the banter.
The ending is sweet like words a daughter or son would soak in and be comforted by from their parents. Thats what I felt hearing them
Failure is not final and it became more believable with every relatable humbling/ cringeworthy or embarrassing story because it made me realise that okay if Stephen Miller can have alot of these moments as an adult, laugh at himself years later and believe that those moments didn't define him then maybe failure really is not final and everything is in fact going to be okay.
Thank you for this audiobook. I told my younger sister about some of the funny moments and she's wanting to listen to the audiobook too!
