About the episode

On this episode of Book Wise, Jonathan Munk talks to Britt Brewer about a book that made a huge impact on both his life and career, “How Will You Measure Your Life?” by Clayton Christensen.

As always, our Book Wise hosts dig into the weeds — from death bed confessions, to what truly matters in life, and how the U.S. presidential race between Obama and McCain had a level of civility, and well, not-weirdness, that’s increasingly harder to come by these days.

Oh, and Britt even treats Munk to an impromptu Broadway audition he definitely did NOT see coming, or even ask for at all. Ever.

So go ’head and lock the gate, ’cause things are about to get…. Not exactly weird, per se, maybe more entertaining? Thought-provoking? Sporadically humorous, and…? You know what, just listen, okay, it’s good, we swear.

Books Mentioned

"How Will You Measure Your Life" by Clayton Christensen addresses the profound question of how to lead a fulfilling life. After surviving a heart attack, advanced-stage cancer, and a stroke, Christensen shared his personal guidelines for finding meaning and happiness in a speech to Harvard Business School graduates. This speech, akin to "The Last Lecture" in its life-altering insights, became a popular article in the Harvard Business Review and then a groundbreaking book.

Christensen offers a series of questions and models for success that apply both to business and personal life, helping readers find satisfaction in their careers, build enduring relationships, and maintain integrity. The book is designed to inspire and educate a wide audience, including business students, professionals, and parents.
