MYSELF AND OTHER MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS by Charles Handy, Amacom 2008

Equal parts humanity and wisdom, this memoir is by Charles Handy, a social philosopher and innovative thinker who is particularly well known in the business world.

Known as one of the great, if not greatest, business management thinkers of our time, he co-founded the London Business School in the days when “business was long seen by the British as a lower status occupation, definitely inferior to the armed services.” Coming from an Irish-Anglo background and trained as a classical scholar in Greek and Roman studies at Oxford, his writing is philosophical, wise, and funny. He is refreshingly candid.

Often faulting corporate culture, he believes that management is a matter of experience and common sense, saying “at the end I was more than ever convinced while the skills of business analysis can be taught in class…the art and practice of management cannot.”

One doesn’t have to be a business executive to benefit from the memoir. At heart, it is a book about the business of Life.
