How Will You Measure Your Life by Clayton Christensen

The Big Idea: Strive for happiness, not success.

1. How to find happiness in your career

Understand what motivates you.

Internal motivation > external motivation.

Money and status are more of a by-product of being happy with a job, than a cause of it.

Think about the long-term consequences of your decisions.

Make plans but keep an eye out for opportunities.

Understand how you spend your time and money. And why.

2. How to find happiness in your relationships

Invest in personal relationships now.

Invest in your kids.
