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.

Touches Every Aspect of Your Life
I found the voice to lack expression but I wonder if that might be by design to ensure you add the emphasis where it fits for your own life. Overall, if you don’t take something away you either aren’t being honest with yourself or you aren’t paying attention to the words. This book should be listened to by youths and revisited as they become adults. Adults can use it to internalize and grow.

A must read!
It’s a must read..and honestly, I took notes while listening to it. You can put the learnings of this book to use-which is exactly what I was looking for in a book which starts with such a big psychological question.

So many epiphanies
Christensen could be one of the most revered and rewarded business writers in the world if he had fewer big ideas. Any competent writer could take this book and create six simple (and popular) books from it. And many do. But Christensen is a true thought leader who inspires the work of others

Worthwhile
Helpful as a CEO, a father and a husband to remind us of our priorities and house to approach them holistically

I reserve my 5 stars for books like this one

Good overall
There were surely good passages on various subjects. I particularly enjoyed the one on company culture, everything related to being a manager, since I’m one. But I could by no mean relate to the religious ones.
The overall message is great, and I would recommend.
