Barking Up the Wrong Tree: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Success Is (Mostly) Wrong

Barking Up the Wrong Tree is a groundbreaking book that challenges conventional wisdom about success and achievement.

Written by Eric Barker, a Wall Street Journal bestselling author, this book draws on startling statistics and surprising anecdotes to reveal the extraordinary science behind what actually determines success. The book explores why valedictorians rarely become millionaires, how your biggest weakness might actually be your greatest strength, and the secret ingredient to "grit" that Navy SEALs and disaster survivors leverage to keep going.

It also reveals the errors of Albert Einstein and a little lesson from Spider-Man, all with the goal of helping readers understand what works and what doesn't when it comes to achieving success. With Barking Up the Wrong Tree, you'll learn how to find work-life balance using the strategy of Genghis Khan, discover why trying to increase confidence fails, and uncover the superior solution offered by Buddhist philosophy.

This book is a must-read for anyone looking to live a better life and achieve their goals in a way that works for them.
