Publisher's Summary

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Work Clean, written and read by Dan Charnas.

Night after night chefs and their crews are able to multitask and produce in a way that puts deskbound workers to shame. In Work Clean, Dan Charnas uncovers their secret: mise-en-place - the organizational system that transforms the lives of its practitioners through focus and self-discipline.

Through interviews with top chefs working in professional kitchens all over the world, culinary students, line cooks, and restaurant employees, Charnas reveals the ten major principles of mise-en-place - including arranging spaces, finishing actions and slowing down to speed up - and demonstrates how they can be used to boost productivity in all aspects of life.

One of the best productivity books I've read!

This book was not only a pleasure to listen to but a beautifully laid out, elegant philosophy for becoming more organised and efficient at just about anything you need to do.

The author turns a journalist's eye on how top fine dining chefs are able to put out hundreds of meals a night whereas most of us just scurry to feed our family. It's all about how they arrange their time, spaces, physical movements, resources and interactions. Charnas does an excellent job translating and applying these ideas into a knowledge worker's context. I've already begun applying these ideas at home and work and finding that it saves time and makes me more efficient and productive. Love the details of the chefs' stories - the author tells a good story and has a great reading voice too. thank you!
