About the Book

HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE deals with our cultural model of success and failure, winning and losing and the pain and suffering associated with this model as it relates to our own self-image(s) and to our society in general. Author Michael David offers a kinder, more compassionate and inclusive model, whereby everyone is a successful winner.

About the Author :
Michael David was born in Rapid City, South Dakota on September 28, 1949, but was raised in a small wheat harvesting community in the Southeastern corner of Washington actually called Walla Walla. And, like the character in his books, Michael really graduated from a high school simply know as "WA-HI," where he served as Student Body President. In 1968, the David attended Walla Walla College, a private, denominational, rather ridged institution of higher learning. Michael David went on to attend Washington State University for 2 1/2 years. He dropped out of WSU in 1970, sold all his belongings and bought a one-way ticket to the island of Maui, with no intention of returning. After living in a place called Banana Patch, Michael found himself moving to Portland, Oregon, joining a rock'n'roll band, and meeting Nanci, who would later become his wife and mother to their two children. Michael attended Portland State University and there received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Philosophy. Michael and his wife moved back to Walla Walla in 1978 and have lived there ever since. Michael David served on the Walla Walla City Council from 1981 through 1991, and held the office of Mayor in 1986-87. In 1997, Michael David became a Kriyaban, being initiated into Kriya Yoga through the Self-Realization Fellowship. Since 1968, Michael has also been a student of Baba Ram Dass, a.k.a. Dr. Richard Alpert. In the late '60's and early '70's, Michael, like Ram Dass, explored the use of entheogens and cannabis sativa as a way of watching or expanding the awareness. Like Ram Dass, the author traded in entheogen empiricism for yoga meditation. When he is not on the job serving others, Michael David (a.k.a. Michael "Mike" Johnson) keeps himself busy doing Karma Yoga, working at being a loving husband, father, son, brother and friend, writing books and songs and recording CD's, practicing yoga-meditation, and hanging out with his friends in a local musical group called Feels Like Home. Above all else, Michael enjoys "hanging out" with his 4 grandchildren.
