Why so often the pursuit of positions and salaries does not bring happiness? Why don't our loved ones understand us? Why do the goals we strive for often bring nothing but disappointment? These and many other questions arose from management guru Clayton Christensen after several Harvard Business School alumni meetings. He found that behind the trappings of success, most of his colleagues were deeply unhappy. But why didn't these smart people who develop the strategies of huge corporations manage to master the strategy of their lives? Instead of giving ready-made advice, Christensen and his co-authors suggest that we use well-known management theories that are very easy to project into our lives. Using well-known companies as examples, the book shows what mistakes we make when we misallocate our resources. The authors consider all aspects of life on which our happiness depends.
