Publisher's Summary

The ground-breaking international best seller that reveals the indisputable scientific laws that can turn your achievements into success and how to use them to your own advantage.

In The Formula, Albert-László Barabási, one of the world's leading experts on the science of networks, reveals the unspoken rules behind who truly gets ahead and why, and outlines the five laws that govern this phenomenon and how we can use them to our own advantage. Drawing on Big Data research that covers everyone from the ace fighter pilot The Red Baron to graffiti artist Jean-Michel Basquiat; Miles Davis and his recording of 'Kind of Blue' to Marcel Duchamps and Tiger Woods, Barabasi, shows why success can come at any time, as long as we are persistent, why in successful teams one person gets the lion share of the credit and why the last interviewee almost always gets the job.

Unveiling the scientific principles that drive success, and how to leverage them, Barabasi offers a new understanding of the very foundation of how people excel in today's society, and how to harness these principles for yourself.

Great story and awesome presentation

Albert, getting preferential attachment going for you (if you need any) ;).
Jokes apart it's an excellent book and much better than reading any self help book.
In ancient Indian scripture there is a quotation from Bhagvat Gita: 'karma kar phal ki chinta mat kar'. that would translate to 'perform action don't worry about fruits'. I could hear that in the 5th law and it was inspiring.

All the other laws tied up well with the last one in the final chapter.
narration was great too :)
thank you

nice experiments

Enjoyed reading through some of the experiments e.g. the peer pressure in voting etc .. overall a good book. A little repetitive though.
