About this listen
A Simple Mindset Tweak Will Change Your Life.
It started with a midnight insight. After a fifteen-year nightmare of coping with his chaotic business, Sam Carpenter discovered and then developed a simple methodology that knocked his routine 80-hour workweek down to near-zero, while multiplying his net income by a factor of one hundred. That was in 1999. Now, for 2025, here’s his bestselling business book in a completely updated post-COVID version, showing how you, too, can break free to build the business and life of your dreams . . . no matter the outside influences.
In Work the System, Carpenter reveals the profound insights and exact, uncomplicated, mechanical steps necessary to turn any struggling business around . . . or to add substantial bottom-line to one that is not struggling. Once you “get” this startling vision, success and serenity will come quickly. You will learn to:
·Make a simple perception adjustment that will change your life forever.
·See your world as a logical collection of linear systems that you can control.
·Manage the systems that produce results in your business and your life.
·Stop fire killing and become a fire-control specialist.
·Maximize profit, create client loyalty, and develop enthusiastic employees.
·Identify insidious “errors of omission.”
·Maximize your biological and mechanical “prime time.”
·Design the life you want—and then, in the real world, create it!
In the last five years, the socio/economic business world has been turned upside down, yet the very basics of business and life success have not changed. Whatever the outside world challenges, you can transform your businesses into a finely tuned machine that runs smoothly and profitably on autopilot. Make More. Work Less.

In this controversial and exciting listen, Pollan explores caffeine’s power as the most-used drug in the world - and the only one we give to children (in soda pop) as a treat.

Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think.

Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction - at work, at school, and at home - is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

Takes Personal Shots at People
Decent, not great, information. It would have been better if the author left his purely subjective political views out of it. They didn’t support the overall message of the book which is the importance of systems in a business.

Agonizing and self indulgent
Someone needs to edit this book as if it were the first edition. After five editions, it appears the author can’t help but add more and more self indulgent stories into this book. It’s like no one has read the book with fresh eyes in many years. It is so repetitive, so full of random anecdotes, that I find it one of the most agonizing audiobooks I’ve ever listened to. The kernel of a great book is in here somewhere, and it teaches good lessons. If you found E Myth agonizing to listen to with Sarah’s cupcakes, this book might be even worse. What is the deal with authors writing about systems, that causes them to write the least systematic and most all-over-the-place books of all time?
