Les échecs des winners. Pourquoi les gens célèbres donnent-ils toujours l'impression d'être invincibles ? Se sont-ils déjà plantés lamentablement ? À quelles occasions ont-ils posé le genou à terre, et surtout, comment ont-ils trouvé l'inspiration pour rebondir ? L'argent, le renom et le succès font vite oublier les déconvenues. Pourtant, tous les "gagnants" ont un jour courbé l'échine (échec scolaire, entrepreneurial, familial ; trahison, abandon, abus de confiance, etc.). Une vie sans embûche n'existe pas.
