One man's trash is another man's treasure. I wish I knew more earlier about possible startup failure modes. Sadly only great successes are well communicated. Nobody writes about failure when partner got cold feet or development effort was greatly underestimated or product/market fit was miserable without room for pivoting.

Ben Horowitz wrote a decent book about the endless difficulties of start-ups and business in general [1]. It's not so much strictly failure-learn focused (eg learning from the results of a failed start-up), as it is challenge-overcome focused (eg working your way through the never ending beating that is doing a start-up).
