In

of

and

prominent
professor
László
Barabási
gives
us
a
trailblazing
book
that
promises
to
transform
the
very
foundations
of
how
our
success-obsessed
society
approaches
their
professional
careers,
life
pursuits
and
long-term
goals.
Too
often,
accomplishment
does
not
equal
success.
We
did
the
work
but
didn't
get
the
promotion;
we
played
hard
but
weren't
recognized;
we
had
the
idea
but
didn't
get
the
credit.
We
convince
ourselves
that
talent
combined
with
a
strong
work
ethic
is
the
key
to
getting
ahead,
but
also
realize
that
combination
often
fails
to
yield
results,
without
any
deeper
understanding
as
to
why.
Recognizing
this
striking
disconnect,
the
author,
along
with
a
team
of
renowned
researchers
and
some
of
the
most
advanced
data-crunching
systems
on
the
planet,
dedicated
themselves
to
one
goal:
uncovering
that
ever-elusive
link
between
performance
and
success.
Now,
based
on
years
of
academic
research,
The
Formula
finally
unveils
the
groundbreaking
discoveries
of
their
pioneering
study,
not
only
highlighting
the
scientific
and
mathematic
principles
that
underpin
success,
but
also
revolutionizing
our
understanding
of:
- Why performance is necessary but not adequate
- Why "Experts" are often wrong
- How to assemble a creative team primed for success
- How to most effectively engage our networks
- And much more.

"The

more
than
a

of

"eureka

"Laszlo Barabasi is an extraordinary scientist who has enjoyed great success. He brings to bear all of his capacity as the former to understand the latter--to our great benefit. Writing in a lively fashion, he illuminates broad principles that explain how people in all fields--from entrepreneurs to scientists to athletes to artists--achieve success. The insights are novel and useful, and backed not just by vivid stories, but also by the sorts of detailed and inventive scientific analyses, plainly explained, for which Barabasi is rightly famous."—Nicholas Christakis, co-author ofConnectedand the Sol Goldman Family Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale University
"In his new book, Laszlo Barabasi delights us with the stories and mechanisms that explain success in our achievement obsessed society."—Cesar A. Hidalgo, author ofWhy Information Growsand Director of the Macro Connections group at the MIT Media Lab
"Barabasi will indelibly transform the way we all think about success."—Alex Pentland, author ofSocial Physicsand Toshiba Professor at MIT
"It's rare that a book about success turns out to be such a page-turner, but there you go. File [The Formula] away withFreakonomicsorOutliers."—Geekwire
"A fascinating new book."—Bloomberg Businessweek
"If you are currently at the top of your field, but you want to knock everyone else off the mountain, Barabasi will tell you how. And if you're not quite there yet, these laws might give you something to think about on the way up."—Lifehacker
"A fun, fast, first-hand account of efforts to use big data to pull back the curtain on our collective dynamics.The Formulaoffers a rich tour of research on how relatively simple feedback forces channel our lives in surprising and counter-intuitive ways."—Nature

"This is not just an important but an imperative project: to approach the problem of randomness and success using the state of the art scientific arsenal we have. Barabasi is the person."
