Book excerpt: In the bestselling tradition of Malcom Gladwell, James Gleick, and Nate Silver, 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 "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."-Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of the New York Times bestselling The Black Swan and Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at NYU

Download or read book The Formula written by Luke Dormehl and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating guided tour of the complex, fast-moving, and influential world of algorithms—what they are, why they’re such powerful predictors of human behavior, and where they’re headed next. Algorithms exert an extraordinary level of influence on our everyday lives - from dating websites and financial trading floors, through to online retailing and internet searches - Google's search algorithm is now a more closely guarded commercial secret than the recipe for Coca-Cola. Algorithms follow a series of instructions to solve a problem and will include a strategy to produce the best outcome possible from the options and permutations available. Used by scientists for many years and applied in a very specialized way they are now increasingly employed to process the vast amounts of data being generated, in investment banks, in the movie industry where they are used to predict success or failure at the box office and by social scientists and policy makers. What if everything in life could be reduced to a simple formula? What if numbers were able to tell us which partners we were best matched with – not just in terms of attractiveness, but for a long-term committed marriage? Or if they could say which films would be the biggest hits at the box office, and what changes could be made to those films to make them even more successful? Or even who is likely to commit certain crimes, and when? This may sound like the world of science fiction, but in fact it is just the tip of the iceberg in a world that is increasingly ruled by complex algorithms and neural networks. In The Formula, Luke Dormehl takes readers inside the world of numbers, asking how we came to believe in the all-conquering power of algorithms; introducing the mathematicians, artificial intelligence experts and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who are shaping this brave new world, and ultimately asking how we survive in an era where numbers can sometimes seem to create as many problems as they solve.

Of special interest is the never before translated diary of Nikolaus Selecker, one of the original formulators. Formulators of the Formula of Concord provides fascinating insight into the personal lives of four men who shaped an important part of our Christian heritage. Readers will be led to a new understanding of the Formula of Concord as a confession of faith that is rooted in history and yet has much to say to us today.

Download or read book The Happiness Formula written by Gary King and published by . This book was released on 2016-05-25 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Happiness Formula: The Ultimate Life Makeover shares with readers a formula developed over years of research. It is about my real life experiences of tremendous highs and unfathomable lows. I used that hard earned wisdom to create a formula to help others evolve from victim to victorious. Over the last 25 years I have been active in the personal development world and interviewed literally thousands of participants. The questions asked were deep and the insights gained are priceless. Most humans search for miracles, focusing on financial, health and relationships. Many people run from challenges, avoiding them as if they were punishment, potentially leading them to becoming a victim of learned helplessness, or worse, learned hopelessness. All lives center around emotions that can either enhance our lives or seriously drain us of vibrancy. Our internal world controls our external world. We all search for Happiness, even though we do not have a clear definition other than what we've been taught in school regarding success. We've been conditioned to believe our academic education will serve us in our times of deep financial and emotional needs, but nothing could be further from the truth. We are masters of technology and victims of emotional reality. We must develop conscious parenting and skills to enhance our relationships. I offer you the choice of managing the effects of your precious life, or managing the cause . The implementation of Forgiveness, Honesty, Truth and Self Worth will create an internal skill set to effectively manage your external world. You are about to find out exactly what that means, and it will change your life forever.
