Charles Handy is perhaps best known outside the business world as a wise and warm presenter of Radio 4's 'Thought for the Day'. He has been recognized as one of the leading business thinkers globally (over a million copies of his books have been sold worldwide). In his book Myself and Other More Important Matters, he leaves the field of management that he has effectively charted in the past to explore the broader issues and dilemmas - both ethical and creative - that arise from the twists and turns of his long and successful life.

Here he examines the important questions of how one can live better, as they have emerged from the development of his life and his unique and influential understanding of what truly matters. From sourcing oil by ship in an area larger than England as a dynamic young executive at Shell in Borneo to the feeling that there was a significant difference between the description of developing a 'portfolio' life (comprising a variety of activities for different purposes and rewards) in theory and the actual departure from full-time employment, from helping to establish the business schools of London and Open to listening and talking with people around the world about how they wish to manage their lives, Handy's narrative of his experiences proves to be enlightening and significant.
