How Will You Measure Your Life?

How do you lead a fulfilling life? This profound question lies at the heart of How Will You Measure Your Life?, a transformative book penned by world-class business strategist and bestselling author Clayton M. Christensen, along with his co-authors Karen Dillon and James Allworth. This compelling work of inspiration and insight delves into the core of what makes life truly worthwhile.

In this groundbreaking book, Christensen, who is renowned for his influential work The Innovator’s Dilemma, shares his extraordinary journey of resilience and reflection after surviving a heart attack, advanced-stage cancer, and a stroke over three consecutive years. These life-altering experiences culminated in a powerful speech delivered to the Harvard Business School graduating class, where he offered personal guidelines that aided him in discovering meaning and happiness in his own life. These insights are not just for the brightest and most motivated students; they are universal principles that anyone can apply.

Akin to The Last Lecture in its revelatory perspective, Christensen's speech transitioned into a widely popular article in the Harvard Business Review and eventually evolved into this comprehensive book. How Will You Measure Your Life? sets forth a series of thought-provoking questions and models for success. While these models have long been utilised in business, Christensen argues they are equally effective for addressing pertinent life questions. How can I be certain I will find satisfaction in my career? How can I ensure my relationships with my spouse, family, and close friends are enduring sources of happiness? How can I maintain my integrity and stay true to my values?

Drawing from his extensive experience in business strategy, as well as personal anecdotes and practical wisdom, Christensen presents a highly original and surprising perspective. The book is not confined to corporate professionals but is poised to inspire a broad audience, including students of business, mid-career professionals, and even parents, traversing cultural and geographical boundaries.

How Will You Measure Your Life? is more than just a book; it is a roadmap to discovering satisfaction, happiness, and purpose in both personal and professional realms. Whether you are seeking to enhance your career, fortify your relationships, or uphold your integrity, this book offers invaluable guidance to help you find clarity and direction in your life journey.
