Modern work life is a maze, but you can find a shortcut through it.

We are spending longer hours at work, although we desire more work-life balance. According to the World Population Review, the 10 countries with the longest workweeks averaged 42.2 hours.

Given how much time you spend at work, wouldn’t it be better if you could be more efficient at your job? The Harvard Business Review says that workers spend as much as 41 percent of the average workday on tasks that don’t add value.

Mental Models at Work shows you how to deploy powerful tools to foster workplace success.

Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll discover inside:

• How your current mental models may be helping...or hindering your career success • What you need to learn, unlearn, and how to relearn the skills you need at your job with these 5 strategies • How to prioritize your workflow the Warren Buffet way • Why thinking about your thinking will put you ahead of your colleagues...even if they are better qualified than you • Go beyond post its and to-do lists with these 4 mental models to boost productivity • Getting “phygital”...why this mindset is critical for the future of work

... and much, much more!

Modern work is like fog, and the vast majority of modern workers are wandering through it. Don’t let this be you.

Cut through the fog, gain clarity, and find success using mental models.

Supercharge your productivity. Get the discipline and the mindset you need to succeed. Buy this audiobook now!
