Randall exposes mass market books that propose one-minute management techniques, that offer one-size-fits-all prescriptions, or that treat symptoms instead of causes. Instead, he presents a compelling case for living the time of your life by taking care of yourself. First, he shows that time management problems are actually caused by a fragmentation within a leader's personality, and not by having too many things to do. The loss of the self leads to a loss of direction or a loss of stability.

Another might be operating for "revealed" time. Randall teaches the leader how to do self-assessment.
