Barking Up the Wrong Tree: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Success Is (Mostly) Wrong Free Audiobook Download by Eric Barker

One of the most important lessons that author Eric Barker discovered in his life is the one he learned from a book about success theory called "Barking Up The Wrong Tree." In the book, author Shane K. Bernard argues that people often focus too much on what they can't get at and not enough on what they can. Bernard goes on to say that trying to achieve success through following traditional methods will only result in temporary happiness. Barkers' main point is that focusing too strongly on what you don't have will lead to unhappiness. It is better to focus more time and energy on what you do have, like family, friends, health and other important aspects of life--things that are actually easy to maintain or even improve over time.

One of the most common questions people ask is "What is success?" The author, Eric Barker, goes on to explain how success does not happen by accident. Success happens when you work for it and focus your attention on what's important. Contrary to popular belief, what's important may not be money. It could be relationships or an interesting life with passions that bring out the best in you.
