Barking up the Wrong Tree: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Success Is (Mostly) Wrong by Eric Barker - Free Audiobook Summary and Review
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.
Everyone should read this book
Ever been to a book shop and felt there are so many interesting books you want to read but you don’t have the time? Regardless of what you do in your life, read this book. It will make you happier. He gives you a summary of the latest research in what can make life better for you and for everyone around you. It’s an easy and pleasant read (with the audible & kindle set I swapped between listening while driving/walking or reading), he’s funny. Even when he seems to be staring the obvious (eg working hard will help your career) he does surprise you with new information and ideas (all backed by good science) and twists the way you (or most of the world) think. Can’t recommend enough. Having had a career which I’m proud of (engineer, MBA, consultant) and now raising kids, I feel that this book is important for everyone: the young starting out, those who are happy where they are but not sure where to focus next (or wondering if they can improve), parents (your children will benefit from it), or even if you are about to retire. I bought copies for my husband, my parents, siblings and friends. Waiting a bit to buy for the kids as they are just learning to read...
