An inspirational and practical guide for anyone who wants to incorporate
the dynamic skills of entrepreneurs into their own lives and work.
A new generation of "life entrepreneurs" is emerging: people who apply
their vision, talents, creativity, and energy not only to their work but
to their entire lives, changing the world for themselves and those
around them. In this book, successful entrepreneurs Christopher Gergen
and Gregg Vanourek draw on numerous interviews with 55 leading
entrepreneurs worldwide as well as the wisdom of multiple thought
leaders to provide vivid examples, moving vignettes, concrete
frameworks, and practical strategies for revving up our work and play
through entrepreneurial leadership. This book starts by providing
strategies for integrating life, work, and purpose and ends by capturing
the implications of the current entrepreneurial boom for our workplaces,
learning institutions, communities, and families.
