“If you're ready to get deep, real quick, you need to read Clay
Christensen's new book, How Will You Measure Your Life?, co-written
with James Allworth, a consultant and Harvard MBA, and Karen
Dillon, former editor of the Harvard Business Review. It mixes
tested business theories and a heap of common sense. It's one of
the more surprisingly powerful books of personal philosophy of the
21st century.”
Forbes “How Will You Measure Your Life? is an intriguing paradox. A
self-help book that is not a self-help book, based on rigorous
research but enlivened by anecdotes about the experiences of a man
who is hailed as a model by his students. It neatly reverses the
technique of those business bestsellers that use the lives and
careers of great leaders – from Attila the Hun to General George
Patton – to lay down timeless rules for corporate executives.”
Financial Times “[A] highly engaging and intensely revealing
work….Spiritual without being preachy, this work is especially
relevant for young people embarking on their career, but also
useful for anyone who wants to live a more meaningful life in
accordance with their values.”
Publishers Weekly “The book encapsulates Christensen’s best advice
to keep high achievers from being disrupted in their own
lives….[P]rovocative but reassuring: Peter Drucker meets Mitch
Albom.” Bloomberg Businessweek Praise for The Innovator’s Dilemma:
"Addresses a tough problem that most successful companies will face
eventually. It's lucid, analytical-and scary."
Dr. Andrew S. Grove, Chairman, Intel Corporation "The Innovator's
Dilemma is absolutely brilliant. Clayton Christensen provides an
insightful analysis of changing technology and its importance to a
company's future success. I highly recommend this book for anyone
interested in business or entrepreneurship."
Michael R. Bloomberg, CEO and Founder, Bloomberg Financial Markets
