How to Be Good at Life
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 is a systems expert, author and coach recognized by Forbes as ‘The Systems Guy’. He is the creator of the popular System Sunday newsletter that has 225k+ subscribers and a social media following of 2 million people. After earning his MBA from Cornell University, he became a management consultant, advising Fortune 500 companies on how to optimize their systems. Tired of ‘non-actionable life advice’, he launched System Sunday to teach others how to live by design, not by default. He lives in Woodstock, Vermont. How to Be Good at Life is his first book.
Dr Anne-Laure Le Cunff is the founder of Ness Labs and a UKRI-funded neuroscientist at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, where she studies the neuroscience of curiosity and its applications to ADHD, AI, mental health, and lifelong learning. Her research focuses on applying neuroscience insights to support people across neurotypes throughout their education, career, and personal development. She is also the author of Tiny Experiments (Penguin Random House / Profile Books) and previously worked as an executive on Google’s digital health team. She holds a PhD in Psychology & Neuroscience and an MSc in Applied Neuroscience, both from King’s College London. She lives in London.
