modern life easier
You’re making thousands of decisions a day. You’re fighting algorithms designed to
steal your attention. You’re managing passwords, subscriptions, and deadlines
—complexity your brain was never built to handle. And somewhere in there, you’re
supposed to exercise, eat well, and maintain friendships.
No wonder life feels harder than it should.
The happiest and most successful people don’t have more willpower than you. They’ve
learned a skill most of us were never taught: building systems. This book is the
missing manual.
Ben Meer—dubbed “The Systems Guy” by Forbes—spent years studying what
separates people who consistently thrive from those who merely survive. Drawing on
insights from behavioral science, psychology, and systems thinking, he introduces
DRIVE: a five-step method for turning any goal into a system that works. How to Be
Good at Life gives you the full toolkit to:
Think beyond habits to create routine systems (setting daily to-do lists,
scheduling regular appointments) and one-off systems for milestones (landing a
new job, training for a marathon, planning a family vacation)
Learn how to design systems across your seven Life Engines: Health, Emotions,
Mind, Relationships, Career, Money, and Environment
Discover that the payoff isn’t just productivity, it is a sense of calm and lightness
