How Will You Measure Your Life? Free Audiobook Download by Karen Dillon,James Allworth,Clayton M. Christensen


The audiobook is an audio version of the book's narrative. After recording over 100 hours of interviews with people from different fields, the author has a number of insights from which to draw. Many executives say that when a job isn't important enough for them to take it seriously, it becomes a hobby. They don't recommend their children follow in their footsteps and become entrepreneurs because the risks are too high. The book includes some unconventional methods for measuring success--and provides endless material for discussion and learning.

Scott and Karen are now watching their daughter grow up, but they're both busy with work and fewer weekends together. When Scott proposes that they take a vacation to the Caribbean, Karen is quick to say 'yes.' But she can't help but wonder if those two weeks in paradise will change her life or not. In her mind, there's only one way to find out: by measuring it. The couple starts to document their time in the Caribbean ostensibly for Karen's personal benefit, but after a few days on the island, it becomes clear that this trip may be more important than any of them anticipated.

How Will You Measure Your Life? is a book written by Karen Dillon James, Clayton M. Christensen, and Jeff Woodman. It explores the question: "How will you measure your life?" All three authors have had their own unique paths that they believe make them who they are today.

Your life will be better if you measure it. If you have a measuring stick, you can chart your personal progress and feel more confident in the path that you're on. This audiobook provides a quick and easy way to take stock of your life by asking yourself one simple question: When I imagine my ideal day, what are the five key things that I would most like to achieve?

The Guide is an idea of what makes up a life. One doesn't have to be religious or spiritual to interpret their own life in this way, as the guide can be applied to people of any faith who are looking for more meaning and purpose. For example, someone who grew up in a military family might want to use the guide to figure out how they want to honor their parents. Another person might see this guide as a tool in figuring out how they want to spend their time when they get older and retire.

The audiobook is broken down into multiple stories that include different aspects of life. In the first story, "The Importance of Intuition," Mr. Allworth Clayton tells a story about after he got out of college when he was working as a waiter and had his own restaurant. He worked every day and didn't have time to really enjoy it until some friends invited him to a party they were throwing. At this party, Mr. Allworth Clayton saw a guy who reminded him of himself when he first got out after college, and that was what made him want to go back to school to study psychology.
