In 2010, the world-renowned innovation expert and bestselling author Clayton M. Christensen delivered a short but powerful speech to the Harvard Business School graduating class. He presented a set of personal guidelines that have helped him find meaning and happiness in his life - a challenge even the brightest and most motivated of students find daunting.
The speech was particularly memorable, not only because it veered into intimate terrain usually reserved for therapists, family members, and religious advisors, but also because it came at a time of grave personal crisis for Christensen himself: in the period of three years, he'd survived cancer, a stroke, and a massive heart attack.
As he faced down these life-altering events, this question - how do you measure your life? - never felt more urgent and persistent. Christensen was compelled to share his insights with others-family and friends, of course, but also with his students and eventually with a wider audience.
That speech, a subsequent, hugely popular article in the Harvard Business Review, and now this inspiring and groundbreaking book, put forth a series of questions and models for success that have long been applied in the world of business, but also can be used find cogent answers to pressing life questions: How can I be sure that I'll find satisfaction in my career? How can I be sure that my relationships with my spouse, my family and my close friends become enduring sources of happiness? How can I avoid compromising my integrity (and stay out of jail)?
HOW WILL YOU MEASURE YOUR LIFE? is a highly original, surprising book from a singular business figure. It's a book sure to inspire and educate readers - companies and individuals, students of business, mid-career professionals, and even parents - the world over.
