Book helps to get a read on the measure of a successful life

For the many avid readers who hope to find some solutions to life's questions through reading, a newly-published Chinese-English bilingual version of How Will You Measure Your Life by Clayton Christensen, a professor at Harvard Business School in the United States, might provide a few answers. It has been released as part of a series of books, entitled Harvard Business Review Classics.

The book is based on a speech he first gave in 2010, after he managed to survive a heart attack, early-stage cancer and a stroke in a three consecutive year period. Christensen, born in 1952 in Salt Lake City, was described as one of the most influential business theorists in the past five decades by Forbes, and was named by Thinkers50 - a ranking organization for global business thinking - as the top "management thinker" in both 2011 and 2013. The professor of business administration has written eight critically acclaimed books, including bestsellers The Innovator's Solution and Disrupting Class.

In How Will You Measure Your Life, the book's author raises three questions - How can I be sure that I'll be happy in my career? How can I be sure that my relationships with my spouse and my family become an enduring source of happiness? How can I be sure I'll stay out of jail?
