Barking Up the Wrong Tree

Barking Up the Wrong Tree challenges many traditional ideas about achievement. I'm curious what motivated Eric Barker to dig into psychology and data for this book.

Some advice in the book goes against common wisdom, which made me question my assumptions. Were there moments where readers felt skeptical about the science behind the claims?

Reading about success science is inspiring, but I'm wondering if anyone has actually tried these tips and seen tangible results. Do they work for different personality types?
