Much advice about achievement is logical, earnest… and downright wrong. In Barking Up the Wrong Tree, Eric Barker reveals the extraordinary science behind what actually determines success. You’ll learn:
· Why valedictorians rarely become millionaires
· How your biggest weakness might be your greatest strength
· Lessons about cooperation from gangs, pirates, and serial killers
· The Navy SEAL secret to “grit”
· How to find work-life balance from Genghis Khan, Albert Einstein, and Spider-Man
By looking at what separates the extremely successful from the rest of us, we learn how to be more like them—and discover why it’s sometimes good that we aren’t.
