    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview:

    #1 Your life is a system, and it is important to understand that everything in your life is interconnected. One event can affect another, and the impact it has on the system as a whole.

    #2 Systems are like maps. They model a situation, but they are not the situation itself, just like a map is not the land itself. Systems are simplified models of reality. Their function is not to present the world as it is, but to make it more understandable and easier to correct or improve.

    #3 Systems are everywhere in life, and it is a good practice to try to deconstruct easy-to-follow parts of your life into systems for practice. Everything is interconnected with everything. You can borrow the well-designed systems of the world and use them in your life.

    #4 The job-hunting system is a system, and it can be improved. You can practice your acting skills, get in shape, or make a profound Shakespeare background check to increase your chances of getting a job.
