Much of the advice weâve been told about achievement is logical, earnestâŠand downright wrong. In Barking Up the Wrong Tree, Eric Barker reveals the extraordinary science behind what actually determines success and most importantly, how anyone can achieve it. Youâll learn:
âą Why valedictorians rarely become millionaires, and how your biggest weakness might actually be your greatest strength
âą Whether nice guys finish last and why the best lessons about cooperation come from gang members, pirates, and serial killers
âą Why trying to increase confidence fails and how Buddhist philosophy holds a superior solution
âą The secret ingredient to âgritâ that Navy SEALs and disaster survivors leverage to keep going
âą How to find work-life balance using the strategy of Genghis Khan, the errors of Albert Einstein, and a little lesson from Spider-Man
By looking at what separates the extremely successful from the rest of us, we learn what we can do to be more like themâand find out in some cases why itâs good that we arenât. Barking Up the Wrong Tree draws on startling statistics and surprising anecdotes to help you understand what works and what doesnât so you can stop guessing at success and start living the life you want.
