Success Is a Numbers Game: Achieve Bigger Goals by Changing the Odds
For fans of James Clear, Nassim Taleb, and Malcolm Gladwell: Stop being someone who could succeed and become someone who predictably should succeed by using a revolutionary "probability hacking" framework to increase your odds of success. Every goal that you're pursuing has two hidden numbers attached to it--a probability of success and a probability of failure. Whether you're trying to start a business, run a marathon, get a promotion, earn a pilot's license, grow a bumper crop of tomatoes, or sign an acting deal, these two percentages are always lurking in the shadows predicting what is going to happen. But most of us never think about them. We assume our odds are unknowable and unchangeable. This dangerous lie leads millions of people to fail at goals where they were perfectly capable of succeeding. You can choose a smarter path. In Success is a Numbers Game, you'll discover:
Developed by award-winning strategy consultant Kyle Austin Young -- a writer for Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Psychology Today -- this probability hacking framework harnesses tactics that have been battle tested in business, art, education, philanthropy, politics, sports, and more.

Applied to a lifetime of goals, it can level up your legacy. Discover the life-changing power of probabilistic thinking through a rich variety of unforgettable stories--starring Abraham Lincoln, Marilyn Monroe, a forensic pathologist who's conducted over 20,000 autopsies, and a team of Olympic athletes who changed the course of history. If you're ready to win more, lose less, and wake up with the sturdy confidence that comes from having the odds on your side, Success is a Numbers Game is a must-read.
