"This is not another ''how to start your own business'' book,
but rather one man''s struggle to find meaning and fulfillment in
work, latching onto elephants when needed, but mostly flying solo
without a net." -Booklist
Social philosopher and international business guru, Charles
Handy provides a firsthand account of how we got here and where we
are headed. Handy takes us on his life''s journey, looking back to
such topics as his childhood and education and how they prepared
or, rather, did not prepare him for a career in business; the
changing nature of organizational life within the context of the
old economy and the new; the great variety of capitalism around the
world; and, through it all, his struggle to find meaning and
fulfillment in work. This book is both a poignant personal memoir
and a deep reflection on the past and future of world capitalism,
with all its possibilities and pitfalls.
