ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Barking Up the Wrong Tree by Eric Barker investigates the often-surprising science behind achieving success in life, both professionally and personally. The book delves into the real-world factors that differentiate the exceptionally successful from others by examining a wide array of evidence, from research findings to compelling stories. It explores whether conventional wisdom about playing it safe, being nice, or always persevering truly leads to outstanding achievements. Instead, the author analyzes the nuances of these approaches, considering when breaking the rules, embracing certain "flaws," or even quitting strategically can be more effective in reaching one's goals. The central theme revolves around understanding what truly works and how individuals can better align their unique strengths and weaknesses with the right context to find their own definition of success.
