In Barking Up The Wrong Tree, Eric Barker reveals the extraordinary science behind what actually determines success and – most important– how anyone can achieve it. You’ll learn: why valedictorians rarely become millionaires, and how your biggest weakness might actually be your greatest strength; why trying to increase confidence fails, and how Buddhist philosophy holds a superior solution; how to find work-life balance using the strategy of Genghis Khan, the errors of Albert Einstein, and a little lesson from Spider-Man, and more. Barker in the book tells the surprising science behind why everything you know about success is (mostly) wrong. This 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.
