About this listen

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 personal relationships 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.

Models of Business growth applied to personal life

I started reading this book after reading Innovators dilemma by the same author. My expectations were high and were fully met . The resource, process, values model applied to personal life is simply amazing. Also, explanation that marginal cost/benefit fallacy wherein no deviation from your values should be done is also explained beautifully. Lastly, author’s explanation on 1 metric to measure life is a fitting end to an excellent book

Great Book!

Excellent thoughts. Genuine.And the narration was spot on.

Some reviews had mentioned that the author has included faith more than necessary. I however did not feel so. It's something that is genuinely close to him and so he uses it as an example on a few occasions, that's it. It does not intrude the actual purpose of the book.
