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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
As the highest point-scorer in Test match rugby history, Dan Carter knows a thing or two about winning. Now retired, but widely regarded as the greatest fly-half of all time, Carter has distilled everything he has learned about attaining—and maintaining—success into The Art of Winning, narrated by Carter himself. Personable in tone and practical in approach, Carter illustrates each of his 10 “perfect” lessons with anecdotes of his lived experiences drawn from childhood all the way through to his impressive sporting career and beyond. Having wrestled with his own doubts and loss of direction, Carter is well placed to lead others through navigating their own life changes, and while it may seem unlikely that wisdom earned on the rugby pitch can translate into every day life, The Art of Winning converts the key points into relatable advice as easily as Carter would once have converted a try. Fans of Carter will find value in the anecdotal gems he shares about his life and his professional achievements, regardless of whether or not they are looking for inspiration or guidance. Odds are they will finish this listen feeling more capable and confident in themselves anyway.
