The book is an easy and quick read. I'd highly recommend it. For those who believe that there is nothing that a book can give you that a TV can't give you faster, I'm including a link to a TED talk he did. It's a little slow to start, but if you are patient, he actually draws some very powerful lessons from business principles.

How Will You Measure Your Life?
A friend referred a book to me called "How Will You Measure Your Life" by Clayton M. Christensen. It's an incredible book that relates principles of successful businesses to our personal lives. For example, he relates the pitfall of too much outsourcing for businesses (eventually losing all of their in-house capability) to outsourcing the raising of our children. Eventually you wake up and realize that the values your children have match those of their coaches and teachers rather than those you had hoped to instill in them.
