Great book and very relatable for kids. Losing is a life skill all kids need to learn, and this book did a great job of helping to teach it. It is perfect for teaching kids how to be a good winners and losers! It has a great one-liner in it that I had my social skills kids memorize. Now, when we play games, we focus on that one-liner! I loved this book and I highly recommend it to others. Highly recommended.

Liam Wins the Game, Sometimes by Jane Whelen-Banks
This product was recommended by Sally Stevens from FastPeopleSearch
This book is simply written and gets its message across. I read it to my playgroup children – who can be very competitive – and I feel it has made a difference – that it is ok to lose. The book is simplistic in both storyline and pictures. It is longer, easily understandable and my son loves it. I’m now looking at other Liam books too. A great aid!

How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams
This product was recommended by Danielle Edenworth from Healthyland
There is no such thing as universal career advice. As Adams says, the best approach to success is to learn from those who have gone before you and apply what you’ve learned to your situation. Adams peels back the layers of his own extraordinary life and reveals how he molded multiple losses into something wonderful and permanent, including his career, innovations, investments, and his two restaurants. There’s a lot to learn from his life narrative, as well as a lot of enjoyment. Adams uncovered some surprising insights that aided in his progress: • Goals, for example, are for amateurs. • Passion is nonsense; techniques are for champions. • A series of poor skills can make you shockingly powerful; all you need is a personal commitment. • You can manipulate your chances in a manner that makes you appear fortunate to others.

Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

The Iceberg by Marion Coutts
This product was recommended by Richard Lubicky from RealPeopleSearch
Marion Coutts’ novel The Iceberg chronicles an eighteen-month time with her art critic husband Tom Lubbock as he battles a brain tumour and finally dies. Tom’s tumour had a significant impact on his speech and language abilities, so Marion’s use of stunningly poetic prose throughout the book is particularly fitting – especially because the staccato rhythm directly reflects how surreal and disjointed I felt while both of my parents were dying. Marion doesn’t shy away from the grit and pain of watching a loved one slip away from her, and I admired Marion’s honesty and bravery in writing this book. Grief triggers: Given that the whole book is about her husband’s deterioration, it’s safe to assume that The Iceberg is explicit, thorough, and brutal in its depictions of death.

A Grief Observed By C.S. Lewis
This product was recommended by Steven Walker from Spylix
The loss of a beloved is an amputation, wrote C.S. Lewis following the death of his wife, Joy Gresham. A Grief Observed is a raw depiction of grief so profound that it prompted a man of strong faith to question the universe. A moderately drunken or concussed feeling, he wrote. A thin veil separates the world and me. I can’t hear anything anyone says. Or maybe it’s hard to take in. It’s boring. But I want others to know about me. I dread the house being vacant. Just talk to each other instead of me.
