The best

Even though we often mess up, most of us are doing the best that we know how with the circumstances that surround us.

Could somebody explain the underlined part grammatically and semantically? I somehow get the gist of it, but I don't really know the structure of it.

Even though we often mess up, most of us are doing the best that we know how (to do) with the circumstances that surround us. The underlined is part of the object of the verb "do". The whole object goes to the end of the sentence.
