21 Letters on Life and Its Challenges

By: Charles Handy

Narrated by: Scott Handy

Brought to you by Penguin.

Charles Handy is one of the giants of contemporary thought. His books on management – including Understanding Organizations and Gods of Management – have changed the way we view business. His work on broader issues and trends – such as Beyond Certainty and The Second Curve – has changed the way we view society.

In his new book, Handy builds on a life's work to glimpse into the future and see what challenges and opportunities the next generation faces. How will people cope with change in a world where the old certainties no longer apply? What goals will and should they set themselves? How will they find purpose and fulfilment in their lives? Clear-eyed and optimistic by turns, he sets out the questions that everyone needs to ask themselves, and points us in the direction of the answers.

Wonderfull insights, fantastically narrated.

A must read/listen. As a 31 year old who is a little lost in life, the thoughts in this book from Charles Handy gave me a quiet sense of peace from concern and optimistic direction.

Thought provoking.

Though I do not quite agree with everything in the book, possibly because of the fact that I come from a different background with a different sets of beliefs and values, I still believe the book is a good one and ought to be read by everybody. I’ll be getting us - the family - a hard copy to keep on the shelf for bookmarking and quick reference.

Motivating and thought-provoking

I'm glad that I finished this book. I really enjoyed listening to the author's personal anecdotes through the letters. Also there were many helpful tips to practice in daily lives.

Deeply touched

I just finished listening to Charles’ letters and I feel deeply touched by the simple, difficult, insightful words on how to live a fulfilled life.
