Myself and Other More Important Matters

Charles B. Handy

William Heinemann, 2006 - Biography & Autobiography - 213 pages

"Ultimately his thoughtful questioning of his own life is designed to inspire our own - what do we really value? Is it money? Time? Family and community? What is the role of work in our lives? What do we find fulfilling? In his wonderfully engaging and drily witty telling of his own story, Charles Handy provides us with the opportunity to learn life-lessons from one of our wisest contemporaries - and ultimately to inform and influence our own making of life's major decisions." -- BOOK JACKET.
