You are given two things in life for free, your life and time. You receive both upon arrival and lose both at the same time. What you do with them is up to you.
The book is all about maximizing on your time & life, each short chapter deals with a different aspect and offers suggestions, ideas and what amounts to self - coaching.

Written in a very direct style it urges you to take a hard look at yourself and as the title suggests, learn to do the best you can with what you have.

The question remains, if you can't or won't work with or on yourself, just who will you blame?
