Living in More Than One World: How Peter Drucker's Wisdom Can Inspire and Transform Your Life

"A must read for all who demand more of their personal and professional lives." —Tom Butler-Bowdon, author of fifty Prosperity Classics Foreword by Frances Hesselbein For Peter Drucker, one of the most influential thinkers of modern times, the secret was "living in more than one world" —enjoying a diverse set of interests, activities, acquaintances, and pursuits. Drucker was able to do this despite extraordinary demands on his time, and now Bruce Rosenstein shows how the man who transformed organizational management can transform the way you manage your personal and professional life. An enormously influential business author and consultant, Drucker also wrote extensively on self-development and self-management, but these writings are scattered throughout dozens of books and articles. In Living in More Than One World, Rosenstein brings these ideas together into a straightforward framework that guides you in building a multifaceted life and career, sharing Drucker's advice for, first, honing in on your core competencies—developing your main talents, clarifying your values, and managing your time. With this firm foundation established he uses Drucker as both source and example to show how to enrich your life by developing parallel and second careers, making a difference in the lives of others through voluntarism and service, and using teaching and lifelong learning as complimentary ways of staying engaged and up to date. By living in more than one world you gain new insights, see your world from fresh perspectives, access ever-changing sources of inspiration and stimulation. Peter Drucker managed a varied professional life as a writer, educator, and consultant, and was deeply immersed in literature, music, and art. This is a life that can be lived by anybody who has the tools and Bruce Rosenstein provides them in this thoughtful and inspiring book.
