Publisher's Summary
Much of the advice we've been told 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 and, most importantly, how anyone can achieve it. You'll learn:
- Why valedictorians rarely become millionaires and how your biggest weakness might actually be your greatest strength
- Whether nice guys finish last and why the best lessons about cooperation come from gang members, pirates, and serial killers
- Why trying to increase confidence fails and how Buddhist philosophy holds a superior solution
- The secret ingredient to "grit" that Navy SEALs and disaster survivors leverage to keep going
- 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 them - and find out, in some cases, why it's good that we aren't. Barking up the Wrong Tree draws on startling statistics and surprising 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.

Loved it!!
It is really very awesome how you have listed all the pros and cons of making choices. The comparison left me thoughtful. It's as if you have given a 3D-view... I was as amazed as a person who watched a 3D movie for the first time. Thank you so much. Also, voice quality and narration was great!

Good examples that one can relate to. The narration is also good. And examples are reinforced time to time to create a lasting impact.

Great Book and Excellent Narration!!!
The book provided many interesting insights into the lives of very different people, it also highlighted different aspects of success and provided arguments from both sides in each topic.
Absolutely recommend it for people who are confused about what success actually means and want a guide on how to achieve it.
P.S. really appreciated the quality of narration
