OVERCOMING A SYSTEM AGAINST US — HARDCOPY — DIGITAL — AUDIO — WRITTEN BY — Freeman Fields
What this book is
A field guide to a system that was never built for you
Most advice about getting ahead assumes the game is fair. Act Like Us, Think Like Them starts from the opposite premise: the rules, the gatekeeping, and the quiet expectations you’re up against were designed by people who don’t share your starting line, and pretending otherwise just keeps you losing politely.
Freeman Fields didn’t learn this from a classroom. He learned it building things, literally and otherwise, from the South Side of Chicago to the U.S. Navy to two decades in construction to founding and patenting his own companies. This book is what he wishes someone had handed him at the start.

From the book
“I didn’t learn any of this in a classroom. I learned it in the Navy, on job sites, and building companies from nothing with no one clearing the path for me. I wrote this book because nobody sat me down and explained how the system actually works — and I got tired of watching other people find out the hard way.”
