wrong. 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

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.
