How Will You Measure Your Life

Clayton M. Christensen · 2012 · 221 pages

2 people have this book on the record — 1 of 2 verdicts positive. The dissent stays on the page.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Jason Evanish liked it affiliate
If you're a high achiever, workaholic, career-oriented person, it's easy to forget to take stock of your life and what's important. Better known for his books on Innovation, Christensen does an excellent job of taking concepts we're used to applying in the workplace and using them to reflect on the rest of our lives. Clayton hammers home a simple, but important message: You can have a great career and be a great husband/wife/father/mother, but you must put the effort and focus into both.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
