"If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same..."

As Rudyard Kiplng was well aware, success and failure are relative. Neither change who we fundamentally are, and life goes on.

One man who understands this is England cricket captain Jos Buttler, who led England to T20 World Cup success recently.

When we spoke in our full length episode - number 14 in the back catalogue –– Jos shared some interesting thoughts about how to relate to failure and success, and about not getting too carried away with either. In 2015, Jos was dropped by England after struggling to score runs, but he quickly realised it wasn’t the end of the world. Conversely, winning a World Cup – of any type of success – doesn’t propel you into a lasting state of euphoria. So blindly chasing success, and fearing failure, is a recipe for unnecessary suffering.
