Kaplan (management practice, Harvard Business Sch.) draws upon both his personal experience and his work advising students and colleagues in order to help readers formulate definitions of success and achieve their goals. He describes a disciplined process of lifelong self-development that involves exploring intellectual challenges, creating strong interpersonal relationships, making a positive impact on the world, and solving personally meaningful problems. Case studies and exercises help readers focus on their unique issues.
VERDICT A good starting place for new graduates or those stuck in unfulfilling careers.
