A systems-based approach to everyday goals

Ben Meer’s guide frames personal growth as a matter of designing systems, not relying on willpower alone. It introduces DRIVE, a five-step method for turning goals into workable systems, then applies that approach across seven areas it calls Life Engines: health, relationships, career, money, emotions, mind, and environment. The book also offers more than 40 ready-to-use systems for routines and projects, including a weekly planning ritual called System Sunday. Its broad map of daily life connects practical organization with the challenge of managing attention, responsibilities, and personal priorities.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People seeking practical structures for routines, projects, and goals.
  • Readers interested in applying systems thinking across several areas of personal growth.
  • Those looking for planning tools to manage everyday responsibilities.

Book overview

From the creator of the massively popular System Sunday community with over two million followers comes a proven method for building systems that make 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 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:

  • Go beyond habits to build systems for everyday routines and projects
  • Design systems across your seven Life Engines: Health, Relationships, Career, Money, Emotions, Mind, and Environment
  • Access 40+ plug-and-play systems you can implement immediately--including System Sunday, the weekly ritual to keep your life running smoothly
  • See the hidden methods behind the success of Seinfeld, Serena Williams, Hans Zimmer, Beyonc
