Summary
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.

Easy to understand...and yet profound.
Just finished this book...and intend to read it again this week. If you are interested in what really brings value...and what true value may be for you - this book provides real world tools to find out. It has some religious reflections but written with such respect for other beliefs that my atheist / karma self did not object to this...in fact...it made the book more personal.

Inspiring and insightful
While there are tons of self help books about there, this one is not the usual dictating type but rather thought provoking and informative. Great listening experience

Generally good read but not what I expected from the title
Liked the idea of creating a likeness
Disliked the religious references I think the message could be as strong without.

Easily the best book i’ve ever encountered
The theories and priorities highlighted in the book are a real eye opener.
I think most people, no matter where they’re in life, would find this book useful.

Good but not great
Clayton's books are all incredibly insightful and this one no less so. However, while his previous books were all groundbreaking, this one is more of a review of his other works and how to apply them to your life instead of your business. I clearly set expectations too high and would have enjoyed it more had I not been familiar with most of what is being shared.

Christensen is the best!
Very great and balanced book. Christensen was my favorite Innovation Management Professor. My only remark is that he uses the same examples in all his books. This is sometimes suboptimal, yet understandable due to his research into these companies. In addition, it might actually create a clear reference for others.
