Description

From the world’s leading thinker on innovation, Clayton M. Christensen, comes an unconventional book of inspiration and wisdom, offering a powerful business philosophy for life. Now, in the tradition of Randy Pausch’s The Last Lecture and Anna Quindlen’s A Short Guide to a Happy Life, Christensen’s How Will You Measure Your Life is a book of lucid observations and penetrating insights for personal development, designed to help any reader—student or teacher, mid-career professional or retiree, parent or child—forge their own paths to fulfillment. Applying the same world-renowned theories he used to predict disruption in business, Christensen provides powerful decision-making strategies to help you answer life’s most important questions: Finding Happiness in Your Career: Go beyond the myth that incentives are the same as motivation to discover what truly makes you tick and find a job you will love. A Strategy for Your Life: Learn when to stick to a deliberate plan and when to embrace unexpected opportunities to create a life strategy that actually works. Deepening Personal Relationships: Understand why investing in your relationships with your spouse, children, and friends is the most important long-term investment you will ever make. Living with Integrity: See how the trap of marginal thinking can lead to compromising your values, and why it’s easier to hold to your principles 100% of the time than 98% of the time.
