#121 Albert-László Barabási - The Science Behind Why People Succeed
Episode description
Albert-László Barabási is a renowned Physicist and Scientist, Professor at Northeastern University in Boston, TED Speaker, Author and is known for his scientific discovery of Network Science, Scale-free networks and the Barabasi-Albert model.
His book The Formula: The Universal Laws of Success is my favourite book of all time.
Why do some people succeed and others don’t? Whats the difference between performance and success? Why does a small percentage of artists receive disproportionate amounts of reward? How does one piece of art make exhibition walls and other the recycle bin? Why does the last interviewee for a job have greater chances of getting the job? Does creativity expire with age?
There is a science to all of this. It’s called Network Science. Today, my guest is the most notable figure in its history - Laszlo Barabasi.
