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

Blogger Eric Barker examines what really leads to success, testing common advice against research and stories. Barker asks questions such as whether nice guys finish last, whether confidence matters, whether quitters never win and whether it pays to be an introvert or an extrovert. Drawing on studies and examples from Navy SEALs to chess masters, he shows that much conventional wisdom is wrong and explains how to find the right path for your own strengths.
