JK Rowling has published a new book titled 'Very Good Lives' where she's highlighting her failures.

An exclusive extract of the book by renowned 'Harry Potter' author reads: "Dear Muggles, failure is the most important gift life can give you," the Independent reported.

The new book, published on 14th April, includes details of Rowling's own experience as "the biggest failure I knew" and describes how "rock bottom became the foundation upon which she built her life."

The novelist has described her dark period, and her rise from a "single mother on State Benefits" to become a multi-millionaire author, whose books have sold 450 million worldwide, and bringing the most-successful film franchise in history.

 

Proceeds from the sale of the 70-page book book will be given to her children's charity, Lumos, which aims at ending institutionalisation of children around the world.
