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.

Insightful, analytic and very relevant
By applying pattern recognitions, trend analyses of large network clicks, hits and ratings, Barabasi gives a quantifiable answer to key psychological questions of what makes a successful person. The lessons (formula) are not only surprising, some confirmatory but seem to be (in the quantifiable world) replicable as any scientific formula would be. And yet: there are very good lessons to be learned from this book.
In addition, it is very well written, at times outright funny and engaging until the very last (quite visionary) pages. Highly relevant and enjoyable.
