Description
From the world’s leading thinker on innovation and New York Times bestselling author of The Innovator’s Dilemma, Clayton M. Christensen, comes an unconventional book of inspiration and wisdom for achieving a fulfilling life. Christensen’s The Innovator’s Dilemma, notably the only business book that Apple’s Steve Jobs said “deeply influenced” him, is widely recognized as one of the most significant business books ever published. 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 with a book of lucid observations and penetrating insights designed to help any reader—student or teacher, mid-career professional or retiree, parent or child—forge their own paths to fulfillment.

5By T FinauI absolutely love this book. So much wisdom and knowledge from these honorable authors. I feel inspired and uplifted to live a purposeful life.Good Read
3By CowhorsekingA friend and co-worker encouraged me to read this because we are both at critical points early on in our careers that require important decisions for us and our families. This book really helped him in his decision making process regarding grad school. I found it helpful but would not put it on the same level as 7 Habits, As a Man Thinketh, or The Law. Dr. Christiansen's life experiences are inspiring and I definitely see how this could be influential for many people. His parallels between management theories and life are well thought out. Worth the read.Dare to try
