Description

Barking Up the Wrong Tree: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Success Is (Mostly) Wrong by Eric Barker. Much of the advice we've been told about achievement is logical, yet often misguided. In this book, Eric Barker reveals the extraordinary science behind what actually determines success and how anyone can achieve it. He explores surprising statistics and anecdotes to help you understand what works and what doesn't, so you can stop guessing at success and start living the life you want. You'll learn about the unexpected factors that influence our lives, from the role of weakness in strength to the secret ingredient for "grit" that separates the successful from the rest. By examining these insights, you'll gain a better understanding of what it takes to achieve success and how to find work-life balance using unconventional strategies. By looking at what separates the extremely successful from the rest of us, we can learn what we can do to be more like them - and sometimes why it's good that we aren't.
