Harvard president Drew Gilpin Faust: Harvard freshmen should "embrace risk and even failure"

Harvard President Drew Gilpin Faust, as quoted in the New York Times Book Review:

Is there any book you wish all incoming freshmen at Harvard would read?

Kathryn Schulz’s “Being Wrong” advocates doubt as a skill and praises error as the foundation of wisdom. Her book would reinforce my encouragement of Harvard’s accomplished and successful freshmen to embrace risk and even failure.
