Why does everybody know Einstein’s name, but so few of us understand his theory of relativity? How did the Miles Davis album “Kind of Blue” become the most famous jazz record in the world, while hundreds of thousands of records go unnoticed? Is the secret of success personal ability or a well-selected team?
It often seems like success is not connected to outstanding achievement. What part of success depends on our abilities, and what part depends on our circumstances? This lecture will look for the answer to this question by examining the role of social networks in our lives. The guests will consider how social networks are helpful in differentiating success from average achievements and what practical steps we can take to achieve success.
Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, physicist, professor at CEU and Harvard University
Balazs Vedres, associate professor at CEU, researcher of social networks and changes
Bea Palya, singer, owner of the Palya Bea Production Company
