Barking up the Wrong Tree

by Eric Barker

Description

Drawing on scientific research, behavioral psychology, and revealing real-world examples, this book challenges conventional wisdom about what it takes to succeed. It examines why traits such as intelligence, relentless hard work, confidence, and rule-following can produce very different outcomes depending on the situation—and why some widely accepted advice may lead people astray. With an engaging, accessible style, it explores how to identify the qualities that truly matter, build meaningful relationships, navigate competition, and pursue achievement without sacrificing happiness or integrity. The result is a thought-provoking guide to understanding success on more realistic and useful terms.
