Books How Will You Measure Your Life? by Clayton M. Christensen (Author), James Allworth (Author), Karen Dillon (Author)

"How Will You Measure Your Life?" by Clayton M. Christensen is a reflective guide that applies business theories to personal life, helping readers find meaning, happiness, and success in career and relationships. Christensen challenges readers to consider three crucial questions: How can I be sure I will be successful and happy in my career? How can I build lasting, fulfilling relationships? How can I live a life of integrity and avoid compromising my values?

The book emphasizes the importance of having a clear life purpose, much like a company’s vision, that guides daily decisions and actions. It suggests allocating resources such as time, energy, and talent deliberately toward what truly matters, rather than reacting to urgency or short-term gains. Christensen also warns against the "marginal cost" mistake—making small compromises that can erode character over time.
