One of my all-time favorite books, “Work the System” by Sam Carpenter, is available as a free download for
the next 7 days. If someone were to ask me what are the top 10 books that have influenced me the most, this book would definitely be on the list.
Sam brilliantly reveals a new paradigm of managing business and every area of life- and I do mean EVERY area- by approaching them through the age-old tool of systems. I know, I know…it sounds boring, technical and you’ve heard it before. But how many times have you also heard that the answers to moving out of our problems are usually right in front of us…it just takes an adjustment in perspective.
You’ll discover how he went from a severely ill and depressed, nearly bankrupt, single parent of two children living in his office building to become the thriving husband, father, business owner, and author he is today-all by working the systems in his life.
There are numerous ideas, revelations and insights that I could share with you. Here’s the first paragraph from the book that immediately grabbed my attention and got the mental juices flowing:
I work the system, but not just one. I work all the systems in my control-professional, financial, social, biological, and mechanical. You have your own systems. Do you see them? Do you control them? It doesn’t matter whether you are a CEO, employee, stay-at-home mom or dad, retiree, or student. Your life is composed of systems that are yours to control-or not control.
Sam even sent me an autographed copy of the hardback version. My daughter and I were so geeked. Two true bookworms at heart! I really tried getting a good photo of the signed page, but it didn’t come out clear. I’m not skilled with digital cameras. The flash caused a reflection off the page, and it comes out as a big white blur. I got tired of messing with it and left it alone. I wanted to make sure you got your free book versus being wowed by my picture!
