Charles Handy is one of the giants of contemporary thought. His books on management - including Understanding Organizations and Gods of Management - have changed the way we view business. His work on broader issues and trends - such as Beyond Certainty and The Second Curve - has changed the way we view society.In his new book, Handy, looking back over a rich and varied life, shares the lessons he has learned along the way.What things really matter? What daily worries should we learn to treat as unimportant? How do we become more accepting of ourselves and of those around us? How do we discover purpose in our everyday existence? Clear-eyed and optimistic by turns, he sets out the questions that everyone needs to ask themselves in the course of their lives, and points us in the direction of the answers.
