Story
In this landmark audiobook, David Epstein shows that the way to excel is by sampling widely, gaining a breadth of experiences, taking detours, experimenting relentlessly, juggling many interests - in other words, by developing range. Studying the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors and scientists, Epstein discovered that in most fields - especially those that are complex and unpredictable - generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. They are also more creative, more agile and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see.

Story
Intelligence is usually seen as the ability to think and learn, but in a rapidly changing world, there's another set of cognitive skills that might matter more: the ability to rethink and unlearn. In recent months, the pandemic has forced us all to reevaluate our assumptions about health and safety and multiple acts of police brutality have challenged most of us to reconsider our responsibility for fighting racism. Yet in our daily lives, too many of us still favor the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt.

Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Story
The Covid-19 outbreak has turned bedrooms into offices, pitted young against old and widened the gaps between rich and poor, red and blue, the mask-wearers and the mask-haters. Some businesses, like Amazon and video conference software maker Zoom, woke up to find themselves crushed under an avalanche of consumer demand. Others, like the restaurant, travel, hospitality and live entertainment industries, scrambled to not become instantly obsolete. But the pandemic has not been a change agent so much as an accelerant of trends that were already well underway.

A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives. Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications, The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world.

Story
What is it about the top tech product companies such as Amazon, Apple, Google, Netflix, and Tesla that enables their record of consistent innovation? Most people think it's because these companies are somehow able to find and attract a level of talent that makes this innovation possible. But the real advantage these companies have is not so much who they hire, but rather how they enable their people to work together to solve hard problems and create extraordinary products.
Publisher's Summary
In 2010, world-renowned innovation expert Clayton M. Christensen gave a powerful speech to the Harvard Business School's graduating class. Drawing upon his business research, he offered a series of guidelines for finding meaning and happiness in life. He used examples from his own experiences to explain how high achievers can all too often fall into traps that lead to unhappiness.
The speech was memorable not only because it was deeply revealing but also because it came at a time of intense personal reflection: Christensen had just overcome the same type of cancer that had taken his father's life. As Christensen struggled with the disease, the question "How do you measure your life?" became more urgent and poignant, and he began to share his insights more widely with family, friends, and students.
In this groundbreaking book, Christensen puts forth a series of questions: How can I be sure that I'll find satisfaction in my career? How can I be sure that my personal relationships become enduring sources of happiness? How can I avoid compromising my integrity - and stay out of jail? Using lessons from some of the world's greatest businesses, he provides incredible insights into these challenging questions.
How Will You Measure Your Life? is full of inspiration and wisdom, and will help students, midcareer professionals, and parents alike forge their own paths to fulfillment.

Any additional comments?
Clayton Christensen is THE guy when it comes to innovative thinking. He was the most influential management expert in 2011. THIS is the book that perhaps has defined his path. The nuggets of gold within this text are both earth-shatteringly simplistic and amazingly insightful. You will not leave this book without at least ten excellent ways to improve what you're doing on a daily basis. It's not a self help book, it's an introspective tome with huge insight.

Thoughtful and practical
Christensen is a Harvard business professor--not the usual intro for a book on values and wisdom and even faith. But he managed to use business models (which he explains well and have some cool insights all by themselves) to discuss how to live a wiser, healthier life.
Well written, coming from his heart, this is a good read for all humans--not just business people.

This book has changed my life.
As a young man starting out in career, this book has really helped me put things into perspective.
I think without it I would have gotten caught up in the same traps that catch out the uninitiated.
Upon really thinking about my life's purpose, I now have the right mindset and metrics to go through life, free of worry, anxiety or comparison to others - free to pursue my unique truth.
Thank you Klayton.

overly religious self help book
Started off well, hard to finish as author pushes religion down reader's throat. Author very much sees life as morally black or white. Making room for the grey is moral bankruptcy in his view. I think life is more complex than what the Religious Right makes it out to be.

If you are interested in what really brings value...and what true value may be for you - this book provides real world tools to find out. It has some religious reflections but written with such respect for other beliefs that my atheist / karma self did not object to this...in fact...it made the book more personal.

Good but not great
Clayton's books are all incredibly insightful and this one no less so. However, while his previous books were all groundbreaking, this one is more of a review of his other works and how to apply them to your life instead of your business. I clearly set expectations too high and would have enjoyed it more had I not been familiar with most of what is being shared.

Ok book...
He raises some good points but also has a lot of weak points that he should leave to experts in the field to discuss who know about the complexity of these matters and therefore wouldn’t be as confident as he is in coming up with solutions. For example the section on kids is definitely a field out of his depth. The criticises marginal cost thinking but that is how they were taught which is why they think in that way. And in actual fact there is nothing wrong with marginal cost theory. It is the application that is the problem. To fully implement the magic of marginal cost would entail bribing the price and thus profits down. Established companies may have other short term incentives to attend to which is why they don’t do it, even though it may be detrimental to their long term interest. So it is not a problem with the theory rather the application that is the problem.

Good but hoped for more
it read line a business book and although I appreciate the parallels he was drawing between the two, I found it hard to relate to a lot of it. would have liked to hear more personal accounts from his life.

Epic book - had a great impact on me
I’ve read so many personal development books but this one was so great cause it’s not wafts at all, uses real solid business strategy thinking and applies to life and how we miss the mark so easily. I’ve recommended to so many people. Must read!

Incredible!
fantastic book containing clear stories relevant to the point being made and leaving the reader with practical ways of implementing the theory.

My new favourite book
This is the best book that I’ve read or listened to. Important messages and well told in the perfect mix of sound business and thoughtful personal insights.

Nothing like I expected
Would you try another book written by Clayton M. Christensen and James Allworth or narrated by Jeff Woodman?
Maybe but I was disappointed that the content did not really live up to the title.
