About this book

"The 5,127th Try – How failing five thousand times built an empire" is the biography of an invention: the bagless vacuum cleaner. James Dyson was frustrated that his Hoover lost suction as the bag filled up. He had an idea for a "cyclone" mechanism, but no money and no engineering degree. Business writer David Hall chronicles the grueling 15-year journey. Dyson built 5,126 prototypes in his backyard shed. He faced bankruptcy and lawsuits from established giants who wanted to crush his idea to protect their lucrative dust-bag market. This book is a masterclass in resilience. It shows that "overnight success" is a myth. Dyson's 5,127th prototype finally worked, creating a multi-billion dollar company. It teaches entrepreneurs that failure is not the opposite of success, but the raw material of it.
