About the book

After surviving a heart attack, advanced cancer and a stroke in three consecutive years, Clayton Christensen, author of The Innovator's Dilemma, gave a speech to the graduating class at Harvard Business School about the personal guidelines that had helped him find meaning and happiness. The talk became a widely read Harvard Business Review article and then the book, written with James Allworth and Karen Dillon. It takes models long used in business strategy and applies them to personal questions: how to find satisfaction in a career, how to make relationships with a spouse, family and close friends a lasting source of happiness, and how to avoid compromising one's integrity.

Michael Bloomberg recommended it to anyone interested in business or entrepreneurship, and Naveen Jain, founder of Moon Express, said he loved it.

Clay’s Innovator’s Dilemma was important. Also, about 10 years later, he had another which really had a profound impact on me and on my belief systems – How will you measure your life.

Christensen’s writings are so powerful that they make you rethink your life and your business strategies. How Will You Measure Your Life taught me that it’s easier to hold on to my principles 100% of the time than it is to hold on to them 98% of the time. Made me realize there is no “just this once” in life.

Dmitry Dragilev (Founder/JustReachOut & PR That Converts)

How Will You Measure Your Life by Clayton Christensen is a wonderful book in terms of figuring out what is you’re doing with life in general.
