From the Inside Flap
  Life can be messy.  We’ve all taken a few wrong turnings.  What if there was a better way to navigate the uncertainty?

There is.  Get a Life contains practical ways to help you improve your life.  It guides you through six areas of your existence.

• Career
• Mind/Body
• Finance
• Relationships
• Fun
• Contribution

It challenges you to rethink your whole approach to life and make sure you get the best out of every opportunity that comes your way.

Get a Life will break some deep–seated limiting beliefs you hold about yourself. Allowing you to:

• Create an integrated life – where the sum of the parts of your life work harmoniously together instead of competing against one another.
• Establish some true motivators for your life beyond money, pressure, adrenalin and caffeine – such as freedom, fun and love.  You will see how to go after what you really want in life.
• Regularly invest in yourself – you will discover how to lift yourself above a life of long hours, poor diet and low appreciation.  The difference will amaze you.
• Change your mind–set for the better – so much of what we do and don’t achieve in life is dictated not by what we do but by the way we think about it.
• Adopt a new approach for life (not just for Christmas!) – you will see how you can stay on track for life, whatever challenges and setbacks might come your way.
• Achieve lasting happiness and contentment – after all, this is what we all want from life isn’t it? 

Get a Life.  The difference will amaze you.

From the Back Cover
Why settle for OK?

We know deep down that you are capable of so much more, and yet with everything else going on, you rarely have the time or the energy push yourself to fulfil your aspirations.  It can be incredibly frustrating to know that a better life is just around the corner.

But there is a way out.

More than just work/life balance
There are many books on the market today dealing with the theme of work/life balance and this is one of the very best. Because 'Get a Life' is not just about the balance between life and work, but looks at how we attempt to balance every aspect of our lives, it is as valid for the full-time mother or recently retired as it is for the busy executive.
Nicholas Bate is a rigorous but humane author; he understands the challenges that face all of us as we try to juggle our commitments, but he never lets us off the hook. His book is full of inspiring and practical ideas for getting the most out of our lives as, expanding the 'compass point' concept from his first book 'Being the Best', he helps us find the direction we are seeking as well as the methods we can use to get where we want to be.
If I only read one personal development book this year, this would be the one.
