Hardcover. For business legend Peter Drucker, the secret to a truly meaningful life was thriving in more than one world-having a diverse set of interests, activities, and pursuits. Drucker managed this despite extraordinary demands on his time. In this inspiring book, journalist and Drucker scholar Bruce Rosenstein reveals how, by following the key principles Drucker lived and taught, you can build a multifaceted life and career for yourself. Replete with all the tools you need to follow Drucker's example, Living in MoreThan One World is the next best thing to being personally mentored by the man himself. Synthesizing management legend Peter Drucker's simple yet profound core teachings into a guide to personal and professional transformation, this work shows readers how to apply Drucker's recommendations to lead more fulfilling and meaningful lives.
