As the title suggests, Seize the Days: A Common-Sense Guide to Living Life to the Fullest offers a down-to-earth guide for making the most out of every day. Author Clay Bryan proposes that the best analogy for early life is a hand poker: none of us has any control over the hand we are dealt, but we all have the free will to play our "poker hand of life" as we wish. Bryan's guiding philosophy was deeply affected after reading The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Tim Ferris, and is based on three principles. First, most reading this are statistically among the top ten percent of fortunate people in the world simply because we were born in the United States. Second, to live the best possible version of our lives, we must first recognize how fortunate and lucky we are. And last, we must accept the fact that every day could be our last. After accepting these principles, we will able to appreciate and adopt the author's personal brand of positive, proactive advice, which he directs to readers of all ages-from elementary school students through graduate school and beyond. The author has condensed a lifetime of self-discipline, forethought, and optimism into this portable guide to living the most fulfilling life possible.
