About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

With an introduction read by the author.

Ten timeless truths on leadership, purpose and potential - from the unique culture of the All Blacks, and the mind of a living legend.

You might think success at the highest level insulates you from pressure and doubt.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

In this book, I take you inside a journey that has forced me to look inwardly in a way I've never had to before. It's been challenging, frustrating, rewarding and left me full of gratitude.

Whether you're a business looking to work on your culture, a leader on a steep learning curve, a person navigating change in their life or just someone of any age trying to get that little bit better every day, I hope that my experience can spur you on to greater heights, and master the art of winning.

For the first time, sporting legend Dan Carter distils his two decades at the frontiers of high-performance into his 'perfect ten' lessons.

You won't find conventional wisdom here, but hard-learned truths, including:

- Why great leaders are made, not born, and why they must constantly evolve
- How to forge a winning team culture
- Why embracing your past can be every bit as important as looking towards your future
- Why empowering others leads to the best decisions
- Why confidence and self-belief are nothing without humility and a beginner's mindset

Honest, surprising and inspiring, The Art of Winning converts a legendary career into timeless lessons for readers in any walk of life. Step inside the unique culture of the All Blacks - and inside the mind of a legend.

Insight into a genuine guy who happens to be a great sportsman

Good links from his wins, losses and insecurities in elite sport to life. A book for anyone fearing a new chapter by choice or happenstance.

What a good book this was. Fabulous lessons

I bought this basically expecting the life story of Dan Carter, so was temporarily a bit disappointed when it seemed to start off as a business management manual. Ah well, I thought, let's go with it anyway.
And what a pleasure it was. Somehow, he has managed to satisfy multiple audiences and provided a book that could be a manual for both personal development and team development in a business environment, simultaneously providing a fascinating insight into the development of excellence by identifying how the All Blacks approached it over the last 20 years. The Dan Carter story ran as a thread throughout, but it certainly wasn't a book just about Dan Carter.
And the very best thing that he identified was that it's not complicated to do these things; there wasn't much that was actually new. The difference - and the really hard thing - was the commitment. That was evident throughout.
It helped that I have long been fascinated by quite how the All Blacks have managed to stay consistently at the top for so long, so it was a real bonus to have some key reasons for their sustained excellence explained.

Not what I expected :(

Quite disappointing read/listen. Especially Dan not narrating the book himself. The angle in which the book is written gets lost a bit, can’t decide whether this is aimed at rugby fans, under the sports section in a bookstore; or in the business section.

On another note, if you wanted to play a drinking game to have a shot every time ‘purpose’ is mentioned in this book, go wild.
