How do you lead a fulfilling life? That profound question animates
this book of inspiration and insight from world-class business
strategist and bestselling author of The Innovator's Dilemma,
Clayton Christensen. After beating a heart attack, advanced-stage
cancer and a stroke in three successive years, the world-renowned
innovation expert and author of one of the best selling and most
influential business books of all time - The Innovator's Dilemma -
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. Akin to The Last Lecture in its revelatory
perspective following life-altering events, that speech
subsequently became a hugely popular article in the Harvard
Business Review and is now a groundbreaking book, putting 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.
Do you trust the voice in your head? Our brains are remarkable.
They subconsciously translate the events around us into meaningful
storylines that inform what we think and how we live. The problem
is, the stories our minds feed us as facts aren't always true.
Worse, these stories turn into false beliefs about others, the
world, and ourselves that keep us from our true potential. These
limiting beliefs confront us all. But what if you could harness
your brain's operating system to tell a new story? Not just any
story. A true story that empowers you to overcome limitations and
surpass your goals. Drawing upon the latest insights in performance
psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, as well as case
studies from their own clients, New York Times bestselling author
Michael Hyatt and Megan Hyatt Miller outline a framework anyone can
follow to test their own assumptions and start living better, truer
stories that shape superior outcomes in business and life.
