Sinopsis

In 2010 world-renowned innovation expert Clayton M. Christensen gave a powerful speech to the Harvard Business School's graduating class. Drawing upon his business research, he offered a series of guidelines for finding meaning and happiness in life. He used examples from his own experiences to explain how high achievers can all too often fall into traps that lead to unhappiness.

The speech was memorable not only because it was deeply revealing but also because it came at a time of intense personal reflection: Christensen had just overcome the same type of cancer that had taken his father's life. As Christensen struggled with the disease, the question "How do you measure your life?" became more urgent and poignant, and he began to share his insights more widely with family, friends, and students.

In this groundbreaking book, Christensen puts forth a series of questions: How can I be sure that I'll find satisfaction in my career? How can I be sure that my personalrelationships become enduring sources of happiness? How can I avoid compromising my integrity—and stay out of jail? Using lessons from some of the world's greatest businesses, he provides incredible insights into these challenging questions.

How Will You Measure Your Life? is full of inspiration and wisdom, and will help students, midcareer professionals, and parents alike forge their own paths to fulfillment.

Reseña del editor

How do you lead a fulfilling life? That profound question animates this unconventional book of inspiration and insight from the world's leading strategist and bestselling author Clayton Christensen.

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 to 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.
