The book deals directly with business failure and bankruptcy. This is presented as a significant but temporary setback, a hurdle to be overcome with a new idea and a fresh start. The resolution is entirely hopeful and aspirational, framing every failure as a lesson that led to a future success. The approach is secular and embodies a classic American Dream narrative of hard work leading to triumph.
