Publisher's Summary

Chefs across the globe have honed an incredible system for working with efficiency called mise-en-place. In this audiobook, Dan Charnas reveals how to use those principles in any kind of work outside the kitchen.

Work Clean spells out the 10 major principles of mise-en-place, or "putting in place", for chefs:

1) Preparation is prime
2) Arranging spaces
3) Cleaning as you go
4) Making the first moves
5) Finishing actions
6) Slowing down to speed up
7) Call and callback
8) Open ears and eyes
9) Inspect and edit
10) Total utilization

One by one Charnas shows how applying each of these principles at the office and at home creates a simple system for organizing your life, work, and mind.

Skeptical at first; helped me out. Thankyou.

This book is a keeper. I thought already; I possessed too many tools-of-thinking for my mindset. I was wrong. Impressive results with what this book has to offer. Certainly glad I've added this to my mindset. Yes, you will also be impressed.

Most under rated personal development book ever

Dan, hot damn.

This book changed my life by reminding me of the value of the profession that changed my life.

Thank you for summarizing for me the myriad lessons I learned over the course of my cooking career and showed me how to apply that hard fought experience to the rest of my life/current work space. So fantastic. Your writing is a joy; the tales you speak of are genuine and authentic and on point. I loved every minute of it.

My one critique, having just completed the book, is to offer more industry based reflections during the summary towards the end, especially as you speak of how to employ the techniques. Sadly the app is no longer available, but I think that your work still has great value without it. Hats off Dan, this book was a hearty and inspiring meal.
