Eye opening in terms of what defines success as opposed to what we has become the norm.

One of the best book I have ever read
Thank you so much for lifting my spirit

Bad and delusional! Just the things that have been told!

A must read book for young professionals and and entrepreneurs. Touches on subjects such as the decline of great leaders who are the top performers, what they do, sacrifices they make and the strengths and weaknesses of intro- and extroverts

Interesting enough to keep you engaged, thoughtfully written and conveys the message clearly. Everything that you want from a good read basically !!!

Well it was okay, but it thought it'd be a deeper book when I started. (the first pages got me.) But it ended up being simpler than I thought, still, very helpful and informative; little misinformation and very neat. If you haven't read any similar books, really recommended.

Lots of hands on useful information. Well researched. I enjoyed the real life examples.

well written and engaging. A page turner. Look forward to other books by this author

This book was an easy and engaging read. I loved how it covered both sides of each topic brought up, started with great anecdotal stories that made me want to delve even deeper into the rest of the story and most importantly, have actionable steps that you can put to use right away.

a very perfect and practical book having read Dan ariely's book. thank you for the eye-opening experience.i hope to give this to my child when I have one in future

If you are into this category this book is the to notch! Explains everything about succes!

It is a good book about success with relevant examples and suggestions !

increíble! muy fácil de leer y cautivador. volveré a leerlo porque contiene grandes enseñanzas.

Mind expanding book, a jewel to be grateful to read.

Inspiring, trail blazing and thought provoking! Well worth a read!

Awesome,Success put in perspective for common men.A must read one

Fun read. Although it seems simple, there are actually serious techniques that could prove useful in helping persons be more productive and live a fulfilling life.

I did not succeed at loving the book, but the first half was interesting. After that it sort of fell off for me.

It was an exciting and learning journey from the beginning to the end of the book. I have learnt a lot from this book and I hope everyone does. The author presents pretty insightful remarks on various studies and topics. The book sure does teach you a lot about yourself, the world and many more things...
The amount of satisfaction that reading this book has given me is more than any other form of entertainment.

Thanks for this beautiful artcraft. Really Inspiring. A real must-read

So...very...breezy! Blogger Eric Barker knows how to end a section with a cliffhanger, and if the next section doesn't completely satisfy, the next cliffhanger is often coming soon. Substitute the word "teaser" for "cliffhanger" if it works better for you. The point is that Barker knows how to keep you reading, even when you weren't satisfied by what you just read.

I wasn't satisfied because essential to Barker's method is the tossing of factoids that may or may not be true. My suspicions were irrevocably aroused on page 27, when he claimed that David Geffen sued Neil Young because Young's album Trans was "too country." Too country? Trans was entirely constructed with synthesizers and electronica, and several songs robbed the humanity of Young's voice by recording them through a vocodor. Earlier Young albums with a country flavor like Harvest and Comes a Time were among his biggest sellers, so it makes no sense for Geffen to complain about Trans—Young's least country album to that point—being "too country." Precisely the opposite was the case.

Barker summarizes this anecdote by saying that Young "was sued for being himself." Barker apparently adapted the phrase of a writer for Rolling Stone, Don McLeese, who wrote "Neil Young is the only artist in the history of modern recording to be sued for refusing to be himself." Barker inverted it to say that he was sued for being himself, and then he supported his anecdote with a statement that was on the face of it the opposite of the truth.

What makes this especially disturbing is that every page of Barker's book is sprinkled heavily with quotes and factoids to support his argument (or, as in the case of the Neil Young anecdote, to pique the reader's interest: after rereading the section, I can't figure out what it has to do with any bigger point of Barker's). None of these quotes and factoids are footnoted, so it's difficult to look them up to confirm or refute them. (To Barker's credit, there is an extensive bibliography, but connecting its entries to his anecdotes is a hit-or-miss endeavor.)

For me, this situation is a dealbreaker that broke my trust. All this said, Barker's book (Barking Up......get it?) may be valuable to some as a provocation to thinking differently about success. Many of his suggestions and examples do indeed run counter to conventional wisdom, and I'm all for that. I even think many of them are probably true.

This is a book that at first might make you scoff at the title because you think you have know the subject all too well. But of course you’re wrong and you will enjoy, contemplate, and learn a ton from this book. Especially useful for someone who is just starting his career. Thank you author-nim.

It's a good book. The problem is me. I am tired of this kind of books.

This is a very interesting collection of information and advice. I didn't read it very quickly because I kind of wanted to roll the ideas around before moving on to the next one. But I'll carry some of the lessons and stories with me and probably read it again someday.

Nice reading! Interesting stories and researches. Also got really good tools to be more effienct at work and at personnel life as well.

An interesting collection of facts, research, and stories about success. For example,

"Distractions literally make you Stupid.

Students whose classroom was situated near a noisy railway line ended up academically a full year behind students with a quiet classroom. When the noise was dampened, the performance difference vanished. Offices aren't much different. Research shows that the most productive computer programmers have one thing in common. It's not experience, salary, or hours spent on a project. They had employers who gave them an environment free from distraction."

This is a fascinating, expertly written, and thoroughly satisfying read.

Barker writes like he is sitting with you at a table with a beer in his hand telling you engaging stories. Each of the stories are centered around popular thoughts, ideas, and beliefs and what he is saying is shaking many of them apart but in a way that causes you to be completely open to it. Then, just when you think "what am I supposed to do with this?" He offers some helpful suggestions for making application.

You are sitting across from him, beer in your hand, hanging on every word and then you walk away from the conversation realizing that your life is better, or at least it can be, if you apply the practical wisdom you gained by the encounter. And you walk away wishing the conversation wasn't over.

Very readable and entertaining book about success, but a bit lacking in rigor and organization. The author engagingly tells lots of stories, but they come straight from other people's books or research. He occasionally interjects his own experiences in a humorous way. There are lots of good things here. If only for saying that The Secret (by Rhonda Byrne) doesn't work, he earns my respect. But the long chapters ramble on too long and the takeaways at the end of each chapter go on too long as well. In presenting both sides of each picture, for example the benefits of self confidence as well as its pitfalls, the book often leaves the reader a bit confused by the end of the chapter. I suggest you take your own notes and make your own success cheat sheet to refer to afterwards.

One fact check: Siula Grande is not even close to being the highest mountain in the Southern Hemisphere!

Lot's of advice backed up by science. Easy to read and includes practical suggestions.
