Barking up the Wrong Tree
Inhaltsangabe
Much of the advice we've been told about achievement is logical, earnest...and downright wrong. In Barking up the Wrong Tree, Eric Barker reveals the extraordinary science behind what actually determines success and, most importantly, how anyone can achieve it. You'll learn:
- Why valedictorians rarely become millionaires and how your biggest weakness might actually be your greatest strength
- Whether nice guys finish last and why the best lessons about cooperation 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.

Wissenschaftlich fundiert 100% direkt umsetzbar
Auf welchen Platz würden Sie Barking up the Wrong Tree auf Ihrer Hörbuch-Bestenliste setzen?
Das Buch ist wirklich hervorragend. Man merkt, dass der Autor sehr gründlich gearbeitet hat und kein 08/15 Erfolgs- oder Selbsthilfebuch geschrieben hat. Sehr strukturiert und immer gut belegt, geht er verschiedenste Aspekte eines "erfolgreichen Lebens" durch. Dabei ist nicht bloß finanzieller Erfolg ein Maßstab, sondern auch wie zufrieden wir am Ende unseres Lebens damit sein können. Er schaut sich Top Performer aller Bereiche an und liefert entsprechende wissenschaftliche Belege, was funktioniert und was nicht.
Besonders gut gefallen hat mir die Lebensnähe und Umsetzbarkeit. So gibt es am Ende jeden Kapitels eine genaue Anleitung, wie man das gelernte nun umsetzen kann.
Ich möchte betonen, dass dieses Buch der Schlüssel zu einem zufriedenen Leben sein könnte, für alle die große Ambitionen haben, aber noch nicht genau wissen, in welchem Bereich sie aktiv werden möchten. Hier gibt er Autor eine sehr hilfreiche und detailierte Anleitung, wie man seine "Passion" findet und loslegt. (Am besten direkt jedem Millenial zum Geburtstag schenken...)

Hervorragend!
Da ich schon viele Bücher dieser Art gelesen bzw. gehört habe, schreckte mich eine Rezension auf Amazon ab. Das Buch bringe leider keine neuen Erkenntnisse. Für mich tat es das in der Tat und ich kann es wirklich jedem ans Herz legen - extrem kurzweilig und reichlich neue Erkenntnisse, bzw. neue Blickwinkel. Hervorragend eben.

Absolut bereichernd. Studien & reale Beispiele
Alleine das Beispiel von demjenigen der abgestürzt ist, verletzt ist und sich selber rettet, indem er die 6 Meilen die er zurücklegen muss kriecht -
und das ganze schafft, indem er die ganze Strecke in Mini Schritte unterteilt und dann zu sich selber sagt, nur bis zu den nächsten Baum in 20 minuten... bis zur nächsten Ecke in 20 minuten usw....
Durch dieses runterbrechen, schaffte es nicht nur bis zum Lager, er rettet sich vor allem selbst das Leben !!!
Ich persönlich empfand diese Geschichte unheimlich berührend, dass man sogar stark verletzt, kriechend und mit Schmerzen etwas scheinbar Unmögliche schaffen kann, indem man es auf kleine mögliche Schritt der unterbricht.
Diese Geschichte hat mir viel für meine eigenen Ziele gegeben !
Danke Audible !!!
Klasse Hörbuch !!!

No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving - every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change.

Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto flies in the face of conventional wisdom by suggesting that it should be a person's talent and skill - and not necessarily their passion - that determines their career path. Newport, who graduated from Dartmouth College (Phi Beta Kappa) and earned a PhD from MIT, contends that trying to find what drives us, instead of focusing on areas in which we naturally excel, is ultimately harmful and frustrating to job seekers.

Geschichte
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Popular blogger Cal Newport reveals the new key to achieving success and true meaning in professional life: the ability to master distraction. Many modern knowledge workers now spend most of their brain power battling distraction and interruption, whether because of the incessant pinging of devices, noisy open-plan offices or the difficulty of deciding what deserves their attention the most. When Cal Newport coined the term deep work on his popular blog, Study Hacks, in 2012, he found the concept quickly hit a nerve.

All our lives are constrained by limited space and time, limits that give rise to a particular set of problems. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favorites is the most fulfilling? These may seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not: computers, too, face the same constraints, so computer scientists have been grappling with their version of such problems for decades.

Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of carrying only opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends - why the world's population is increasing; how many young women go to school; how many of us live in poverty - we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.

Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.
