How can I achieve a fulfilling life? It’s surely a question we should all ask of ourselves yet most of us go through life without really addressing* it.
Author Clayton Christensen is a professor at Harvard Business School who was named the world’s most influential business thinker in 2011 by Thinkers50. He has written seven books.
In “How Will You Measure Your Life?” he tackles the above question head-on. He uses the principles* of business success as a means of highlighting similar principles for personal success; indeed, there are many parallels* between the two. He helps us to re-think the manner in which we strive for* positive results in both arenas*.
The book was born out of the discussions Clayton would hold with his students each year on the last day of class at Harvard. During that time, he would ask the students to think about (1) how they could be sure they would be successful and happy in their career, (2) how they could be sure their relationships would be an enduring* source of happiness and (3) how they could be sure they would live a life of integrity*.
Throughout the book, Clayton illustrates* his thoughts with business examples and personal life examples. He is a man of deep faith and this is referenced from time to time as he discusses his personal journey. However, he makes it clear that his journey is his journey and it is up to each of us to formulate* our own path. (SD-Agencies)
