Features: The management guru who has lived a "hybrid life" as a writer, host, and professor shares his past, remembering the people and events that have left their mark on his life. You'll see a shy Irish boy, a philosophy student at Oxford who studied Aristotle. You'll also worry about the Shell executive who struggled in the Borneo jungle, and you'll learn how Handy founded a British business school. Of course, you'll be amazed at how a management master could serve as a supervisor in a theological college. In this autobiography, Handy steps outside the field of management, deeply reflecting on the past and uncovering the problems and dilemmas that accompanied his life's turning points. The ups and downs of the story not only represent the rise and fall of Handy's life but also make us ponder the true meaning of life.
