Eat Sleep Work Repeat Audiobook Summary

“An important reminder of simple everyday practices to improve how we all work together, which will lead to greater team and individual happiness and performance. Great results will follow.”–Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter and Square

“With just 30 changes, you can transform your work experience from bland and boring (or worse) to fulfilling, fun, and even joyful.”–Daniel Pink, author of When and Drive

The vice president of Twitter Europe and host of the top business podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat offers thirty smart, research-based hacks for bringing joy and fun back into our burned out, uninspired work lives.

How does a lunch break spark a burst of productivity? Can a team’s performance be improved simply by moving the location of the coffee maker? Why are meetings so often a waste of time, and how can a walking meeting actually get decisions made?

As an executive with decades of management experience at top Silicon Valley companies including YouTube, Google, and Twitter, Bruce Daisley has given a lot of thought to what makes a workforce productive and what factors can improve the workplace to benefit a company’s employees, customers, and bottom line. In his debut book, he shares what he’s discovered, offering practical, often counterintuitive, insights and solutions for reinvigorating work to give us more meaning, productivity, and joy at the office.

A Gallup survey of global workers revealed shocking news: only 13% of employees are engaged in their jobs. This means that burn out and unhappiness at work are a reality for the vast majority of workers. Managers–and employees themselves–can make work better. Eat Sleep Work Repeat shows them how, offering more than two dozen research-backed, user-friendly strategies, including:

Go to Lunch (it makes you less tired over the weekend)
Suggest a Tea Break (it increases team cohesiveness and productivity)
Conduct a Pre-Mortem (foreseeing possible issues can prevent problems and creates a spirit of curiosity and inquisitiveness)

“Let’s start enjoying our jobs again,” Daisley insists. “It’s time to rediscover the joy of work.”

Meg - A Bookish Affair

March 02, 2020

4.5 stars. Bruce Daisley is the author of "Eat Sleep Work Repeat" and he is also the European Vice President of Twitter as well as the host of the podcast of the same title. He recognizes that many of us spend a lot of time at work and since we spend so much time at work, it's not worth being miserable. There are a few things that you can do, even if you are not a manager, to make the experience better for yourself and those around you. This book is broken down into great bite size pieces that give you suggestions of things to consider in order to improve your work environment as well as to help ensure that your team has what they need in order to achieve great things. In addition to suggesting what you can do, each section has concrete actions that you can take that would be easy enough to implement quickly. There are, of course, some things that are not necessarily in the everyone's span of control. For instance, for me and in my work environment, it would be very difficult to change anything having to do with space. We have the space we have and it really can't be changed. That being said, there are plenty of things that I can act on that will have the ability to make a big impact and they are pretty easy.This is the kind of book that I want to get into everyone's hands that needs a little motivation. It seems like sometimes making changes at work may be super difficult, particularly when you're not the one in charge but this book has plenty of suggestions that you can use in order to make your own experience at work better and if you're having a better time of it, that can have a ripple effect throughout your entire unit. I love the tone that Daisley uses throughout the books. He's positive and motivational. He uses a broad range of examples and research that show the impact that some of the things that he suggests can have if implemented. I found the book to be a breath of fresh air and a great way to reframe some of the things going on in my own mind. This would be a great pick for anyone who finds themselves working in an office environment that needs a bit of a boost! I know this is a book that I am going to keep going back to for when I need a bit of a push!

Living My Best Book Life

Bruce Daisley gives an insightful look at the workplace and adds reasoning as to why employees aren't happy at their jobs. He gives examples based on statistics and experiences to show how workers can be more productive while reducing stress throughout the week and even enjoy their time at the workplace. I really thought enjoyed this self-help book because it is coming from a well-known CEO which means this man is dedicated. I'm sure a busy man doesn't have to sit down and take the time to write a book, but as I was reading I felt his willingness and eagerness to make the workplace for everyone better.I give Eat Sleep Work Repeat 4 stars. I think Bruce Daisley creates hacks that can actually be accomplished and attainable for many. He adds a wide variety of hack and steps to take that are beneficial for everyone.

This clever book delivers succinct messages, eliminating B-school jargon and simplifying real-world examples of how to improve your work life. While the book does make assumptions that the reader is a person with decision-making power, there are relevant lessons for anyone, regardless of pecking order.The format allows readers to jump around to topics without needing background reading. There are direct references in the few instances that call out to the book’s other sections. Each chapter closes with “next steps”, further driving the point that change can only happen with action.I found many relevant takeaways, despite working in a different field from the examples. This was not a typical business book and not a typical self-help, but the better for it. Recommended.I reviewed an ARC provided by my employer.

Bruce Daisley, Vice President of Twitter Europe and host of the business podcast Eat Sleep Work, puts his expertise on the page in his new book Eat Sleep Work Repeat.Using advice from experts in psychology, economics and behavioral science, and citing in his extensive bibliography popular books like Susan Cain's Quiet, Atul Gawande's The Checklist Manifesto, and Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In, Daisley has 30 hacks to help people become more productive and happier at work.The book is divided into three sections- Recharge, which has advice to make you more productive, Sync, which is geared towards team building, and Buzz, which gives the reader tips from successful teams.Recharge is the section most relevant to individuals at work, and the section that I found most helpful. The first suggestion begins with multiple studies that posits that the popular "open plan" design of offices, where everyone works in cubicles and no one has offices, doesn't work well. Daisley's conclusion is that the noise and constant distractions of the open plan office create massive amounts of wasted time.Studies show that people who work in open plan offices take "significantly more sick days", and that when they are at work, they are interrupted an average of every three minutes by coworkers with questions. (That reminds me of being a mom of a toddler.)Younger workers tend to use headphones at work, a habit that older workers find offensive. However, studies show that people wearing headphones actually allow workers to concentrate on their tasks without being interrupted. Daisley suggests that headphones be allowed for part of the day, say in the morning, and then following the lunch break, no headphones are allowed, which encourages people to share ideas more freely.Contrary to popular belief in many industries, like finance, working more hours doesn't mean that more work gets done. Dailey cites studies that have concluded that the human brain is hardwired to make a certain number of decisions per day and once you reach that limit, you can't make any more. The quality of decisions made after working more hours decreases significantly.Daisley has also concluded that we should complete our most complex tasks before lunch, when our minds are freshest. Taking breaks are important, and he suggests taking a walk during lunch or even holding a meeting during a walk with colleagues can be productive. A change of scenery and fresh air can refresh the mind as well as the body.Some suggestions Daisley has for employers include cutting the number of meetings in half, having dedicated meeting-free days, and hosting an alcohol-free "Happy Hour" in the office at the end of the week with snacks and beverages to encourage people to interact with colleagues (although he does mention that this may be unfair to parents who have to get home to children).I found Eat Sleep Work Repeat to be an interesting read, both from the viewpoint of employees and employers. Daisley aggregates several studies, and uses his own vast experience, to share ideas that can make our workdays less stressful and more productive. Everyone can find something useful here and I recommend it.Thanks to TLC Tours for putting me on Bruce Daisley's tour.

If you’ve reached the point of burnout in your career or just don’t find it fulfilling, this book gives some tips to rediscover joy in your job.Bruce Daisley, vice president of Twitter Europe and host of the podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat, delves into why people no longer find fulfillment in their careers. It can range from many different things including company culture to management expectations to personal burnout. So, how does one rediscover joy in their job? Daisley breaks this down into three different areas: recharge, sync, and buzz. Most of these items are for personal ownership and common sense. Recharge includes measures as ditching long meetings for short walking meetings as the endorphins created by exercise will give you a boost throughout the day. Other recharges including getting a goodnight sleep and shortening the work week. Syncs are more of a company approach that suggest noncompany social times, knowing when to encourage people and when to leave them alone, and letting divisions take breaks and lunches together so that they can develop cohesiveness. Lastly, buzzes focus on how to energize a team. These items include making work seem like problem solving exercises instead of mundane activity and removing outside electronics from meetings to have the full team attention. Whatever the need, there is likely a subject that touches on it in this book.Overall this book was an enjoyable read. Several of the items within it are common to other business books as well. I did enjoy getting to see the view of American work culture from the European perspective. I knew that several companies expect their employees to work long hours in order to move up the ladder, but it was alarming to discover how many different fields this occurs in. My favorite part may have been when it talked about how you can’t create company culture, it has to happen organically. So, if a company has a group dedicated to creating company culture, it has already failed. There was some foul language in this book as a result of some direct quotes, but otherwise was pretty clean. If you enjoy books on making employees feel empowered, then this one is for you.I received a complimentary copy of this title from the publisher. The views and opinions expressed within are my own.

Perfect title for what most of us experience with the daily grind. Eat.Sleep.Work.Repeat Did you know only 13% of employees are engaged in their jobs? We spend the majority of our days at our place of work and spend more time with our coworkers then our families. So how can we be productive and have fun doing it? Bruce Daisley has worked with big companies like Google, YouTube, Twitter and more to figure out how to make their employees happy and productive. I remember watching the movie The Internship where Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson want to work at Google. I would too with free food, dry cleaning and car washing services, basketball courts, nap pods, and a built in coffee house for everyone to enjoy! Google is making work fun and creating an environment employees are excited to be a part of. Whether you own a company or just want to start making changes this book is a great place to start. Maybe make Friday’s a theme day, or casual Friday with a potluck lunch. Start a Little Free Library in your office. Find ways to connect, make time to socialize and laugh! 30 minute coffee/tea break. This book has two dozen ideas and suggestions to help you take charge of your happiness at work. It was a fast read that left me with so many ideas on how I can make some changes at my own job. We have to work so let’s do what we love and have fun doing it!

Read the Audiobook version. The book was good and well read. It spans about 7.5 hours. Not bad for a book that motivates you to be more open minded at work and how to work with other people in a way that will get you noticed by your associates. It's interesting to learn the methods used by top companies that have failed terribly. We are talking about Uber having to hire someone outsourced because of the unprofessional conduct from managers. Also this book was loaded with facts and statistics and also some research to backup the information provided. This is great. We love to see true evidence of what we should do to improve our work life. Whatever you do, just remember that you are not stuck in the position you're in. If you don't like your job, you are not stuck. Really. Take the time to find something you like, even if that means taking a paycut. Why stress your body, harming yourself, which will result at a higher expense later in life. It's almost as if the money didn't matter because it causes harm. Thanks for reading this review and make sure to subscribe to my Youtube channel.

Eat Sleep Work Repeat is an insightful book that is helpful in resetting your work-life. In this book, Bruce Daisley offers several strategies and tips that will increase productivity and happiness within the workplace.Upon reading this book, I found it alarming to learn that workplace stress is just as detrimental to your health as secondhand smoke. Therefore, I thought Daisley’s tips on recharging were extremely valuable.Though I think Eat Sleep Work Repeat is a book best for those at larger companies or those in management positions, I think there’s something we can all take from it. There are many simple things that we can all implement to make work more enjoyable. Laughing more with your coworkers is one small way that Daisley suggests to improve your workplace environment. It’s not just good for you, it’s good for the entire team. “Laughter builds trust and helps us bond with one another, it creates sync. And as our creative guards come down, it helps us have better ideas.”https://tabithoughts.com/book-review-...

This is a terrific book. It consists of 30 very short chapters. Each one covers a way to improve the culture in a workplace. The first section discusses things that individuals can do to make their worklife better. The second section covers things that make work teams function better. The final section makes the organization work better. The best part is that you can pick and choose which of these 30 changes would help your work life and/or improve the function of your team, department, or company. Maybe you are already doing some of them. Others may not appeal to your preferred work styles. Read them all and then implement the ones that help you. This is one book that I highly recommend hanging on to. The suggestions that don't apply to you today might become valuable in the future.

This book could not have come at a better time in my life. The past year has been a challenge, learning how to work in a completely new way, and dealing with so many outside stressors. Many of the hacks in this book seem obvious. Sleep more, take breaks, create diverse teams that also take the time to know each other in a more personal level. We've all heard these things many, many times. What I found very useful in this book was not only the scientific evidence to back up why these things are useful, and make us more productive, but also suggestions on how to incorporate them into your work day.

Workplace unhappiness is a widespread phenomenon due to constant connectivity, continual distraction, loneliness, and a lack of buzz. Solving these problems could enable employees to energise themselves and come together as team members. Companies could generate more connection and buzz by focusing on smaller teams, eight to nine people is a good rule of thumb to work closely. To accomplish this, companies could implement breaks sessions, periods of disconnection, limiting work hours, hosting social events, and instituting hack days or hack weeks. The results of these show employees focus more on work and getting on board with the company’s culture.
