In his admirably brief prologue, Bill Clinton confesses that when he was a young man just out of law school he bought a book called “How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life”. It recommended that readers make a list of their goals and then categorise them in order of importance. On his list young Bill included: be a good man, have a good marriage and children, have good friends, make a successful political life, and write a great book. (The Economist)
