I also recommend How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, by Scott Adams. From Amazon's book description:
• Goals are for losers. Systems are for winners.
• “Passion” is bull. What you need is personal energy.
• A combination of mediocre skills can make you surprisingly valuable.
• You can manage your odds in a way that makes you look lucky to others.
...I seem to automatically feel a wave of dislike towards any book that contains a sentence using the word "losers."
However, I will still check that book out.
Can you clarify the distinction between the two, maybe by tabooing both concepts?
Does 'system' basically mean structuring your life in a way that makes it more likely that you will be productive?
