How Will You Measure Your Life by Clayton Christensen


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the powerful and wide ranging book by Clayton Christensen that offers a series of guidelines for helping the reader find meaning and happiness in life.

The book hits home in many ways and manages to deliver a holistic message grounded in both his experience and the case studies of successful organisations.

Samie and James discuss the difference between hygiene factors and true motivating factors, and how often money gets confused for the latter. We talk about the importance of aligning personal resources (time and energy) to what matters most, and how to avoid letting a 'just this once' attitude knock you off-course.

A fantastic book and one that stimulates a lot of reflection, leading to James's central message 'Don't leave your life's purpose to chance'.
