Many people compromise their standards and settle for a life of second-best. Consultant Rana Florida shows you how to live the first-best life you want, stop living in a state of "managed dissatisfaction" and "upgrade" your life by doing what you love. She interviews a wide range of celebrities – including tennis star Andre Agassi; Richard M. Daley, former mayor of Chicago; architect Zaha Hadid; and singer Nelly Furtado. Despite their different backgrounds, each one achieved success by following seven basic principles of life management. Although Florida's book is sometimes short on details, the strongest, most practical chapter discusses time management and offers concrete suggestions about eliminating filler, curbing your choices, and saying no to people and events that don't add value. getAbstract recommends her insights to those seeking to make positive life choices.
