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.

Epic book - had a great impact on me
I’ve read so many personal development books but this one was so great cause it’s not wafts at all, uses real solid business strategy thinking and applies to life and how we miss the mark so easily. I’ve recommended to so many people. Must read!

Clarity
This book and its simple examples provided me with great clarity on the things that matter most in life. Using academic research from organisations - a field I am familiar with - it provides a framework to avoid getting swept away from the busyness of life.

Good but hoped for more
it read line a business book and although I appreciate the parallels he was drawing between the two, I found it hard to relate to a lot of it. would have liked to hear more personal accounts from his life.

Was not what I was expecting, was still worth it
Was expecting a more of a spiritual book. This book is still worth the listen, more of a book on business models and lessons from the business world (with case studies) that are also applicable to home and family life. Would still recommend.

Nothing like I expected
Would you try another book written by Clayton M. Christensen and James Allworth or narrated by Jeff Woodman?
Maybe but I was disappointed that the content did not really live up to the title.
