Well, these inventors and creators proved that notion wrong!

In fact, they became the definition of "if you make a mistake, learn from it and adapt yourself to the new situation."

In this exciting discovery of accidents, you will discover:

  • 50 of the most popular inventions out there and the true stories behind how they were accidentally created
  • A blast from the past - childhood toys that started out as serious objects before turning into the fun toys you remember so well
  • The mishap at sea that led to the creation of the hole-centered donut
  • Lifesaving medications that you might use every day that were created for totally different purposes
  • How a failed invention for a strong adhesive eventually gave rise to this popular office supply
  • Objects and appliances around your home that you wouldn't believe were intended for other uses

And much more.

These stories will show you that mistakes and failures don't have to mean the end of your dream. In fact, they could just be the beginning.

Be inspired to turn your mistakes into successes and find the potential behind every accident.
