About the book
The gap between performance and success is the subject Albert-Laszlo Barabasi takes on, drawing on years of academic research carried out with a team of researchers and large-scale data analysis. Starting from the observation that talent and hard work often go unrewarded, with no promotion, recognition or credit to show for them, the book sets out the scientific and mathematical principles that the team found behind success. Its topics include why performance is necessary but not sufficient, why experts are often wrong, how to put together a creative team, and how to make better use of personal networks. Barabasi, a professor, presents the work as a study of the link between what people achieve and how they are rewarded.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb called it an imperative project that brings state-of-the-art science to randomness and success, and named Barabasi as the person to do it.
