    The guide to making human nature work with you and not against you by increasing job enjoyment and producing extraordinary results. On a hot day when the air conditioning goes off, employees can start complaining that it’s too hot to work. But after work in the parking lot, where it is twenty degrees hotter, they will look at each other say, “Well, what do you think, golf or tennis?” Why will people, in recreation, pay for the privilege of working harder than they will work when they are paid? In The Game of Work, Charles A. Coonradt explains what makes people so dedicated to recreational pursuits, and shows—with fresh, proven management techniques—how to use that same motivation to win at business. Using the principles outlined in this book, a major consumer beverage manufacturer reduced costs by 25 cents per case resulting in an annual $30 million savings, a large grocery distribution company reduced their losses from warehouse and truck damage by over $10 million, a communications firm increased profits from $1.7 million to $3.4 million in one year, a multi-store retail chain improved corporate valuation by over 500% prior to being acquired, a manufacturing firm reduced waste metal costs $30,000 a year, an advertising executive increased his sales volume 55 percent in 90 days, and a warehouse/distribution operation reduced accidents by 38% saving over $500,000 in one year. Everyone can achieve better results with these proven principles.

    A Sloth's Guide to Achieving...

    In this short, contrarian audiobook I seek to redress a few self-help myths. Firstly, that success looks sexy. Sometimes success is just turning up every day to your job and bringing up good kids. Success is what you ultimately value.  
    Secondly, success needn't be high paced, delivered in technicolour through an Insta-filter, or a TikTok thingamajig. It can take the form of a slow, but steady fulfilment of our life goal, delivered over a course of time, in which small but deliberate steps are being made to achieve a wondrous outcome.  
    This book is for that alternative way, the way of the sloth. I also provide some guided meditations to help propel you along your journey with sticky meditations that will help you set and achieve goals whilst eliminating distractions. And when you fail, you can dust yourself off, and try again. Because failure is guaranteed - success is in the constant striving for your outcome. Follow the signs.  
    Peace.  
    Deepak Bhosle.
