Summary of How Will You Measure Your Life? Clay Christensen at TEDxBoston

The world is organized in a nested system, from nations to individuals, and theories of causality help understand business dynamics.

Theories like disruption, preservation of modularity, and jobs-to-be-done explain business success and failure.
Applying business theories to personal life can help predict and change outcomes.
successful companies fail when they focus on immediate achievements rather than long-term investments.
personal success should be measured by how well one helps others, not by traditional metrics like wealth or status.
God's measure of a person's life is based on how they positively impact individual lives.
