It is true to some extent that human beings are a group of living creatures who go to great lengths to succeed. Many people try to make the mantra of success by embracing the ways that no one else is experimenting. A very small percentage of people are looking to add value to things that others have thrown away. Jay Blades is a great example for that. Thus Blades is a restorer who renewed old furniture and created a successful career. He did not limit his life to just one way of living. As a TV presenter, he constructed such a walk of life to heights with 'The Repair Shop', 'Money for Nothing', 'Jay Blades Home Fix' and 'Mister Mender'. What always sets him apart from everything else is his determination to learn, to read, albeit belatedly.
This book introduces readers to the many different faces of Jay Blades, a charity worker, upholsterer, TV presenter, writer, etc. Some of the women who have influenced his life are also the subjects of this. His life conveys the message of how to overcome many hurdles and achieve success.
