Synopsis

Living in More Than One World synthesizes management legend Peter Drucker’s simple yet profound core teachings into a guide to personal and professional transformation. Drawing on Drucker’s work as adviser to Fortune-500 companies, his books, and his life, Rosenstein shows readers how as Drucker consistently advised his students and his clients to lead more fulfilling and meaningful lives by diversifying our time and activities.

Beyond simply recommending more than one job or career, Rosenstein’s guide provides a framework for thinking about your life in a holistic way. Readers are encouraged to embrace and cultivate their “total life,” including work, outside interests, volunteering, social membership organizations, and teaching and learning opportunities. Guided by the key principles and values Drucker lived and taught.

Living in More Than One World is the next best thing to being mentored personally by the man universally recognized as “the father of modern management.”
