Publisher's summary

The life-changing story which has sold over a million copies and spent an astounding 539 weeks as the number one best-selling Personal Development and Leadership book in Europe. 

When a young protégé learns his friend and mentor is dying, he comes back to spend the final months of his life with him. Through their profound and inspiring discussions, we learn the importance of embracing who we really are, and the factors that truly determine a successful life.

Told in the context of what it means to be a great leader, this story will forever enhance the way you look at your purpose in life. Because as the protege learns, we’re all leaders. Even if the only person we’re leading, is ourself. The principles in this book, such as The Big Five for Life and Museum Day Morning, have left an indelible impression on the minds of readers and listeners around the world.

It’s a story which will lift you in countless ways and transform your understanding of what really matters - to you.

A nice, light and cute wishlist

Couldn't listen to the end. Too much Boomer/Gen-X disappointment swings in this. And that's why it resonates so well with Millennials and beyond.

The story is appealing and well told. It creates a vision for an ideal leader and workplace - Beyond the perks of the fruit bowl.

Do ingest this book to gain a further understanding into other generations thinking and searching for the meaning of (work) life.
