Synthesized answer

The book "How Will You Measure Your Life?" by Clayton M. Christensen presents a set of personal guidelines that have aided the author in discovering meaning and happiness in his own life [Passage 2]. These guidelines were shared with the Harvard Business School graduating class of 2010, who were interested in applying Christensen's wisdom to their personal lives rather than just their careers [Passage 2].

Although Christensen's ideas are informed by his religious faith, the strategies he offers are universally applicable [Passage 2]. The book is described as having a revelatory perspective, similar to "The Last Lecture," and aims to provide insights for finding meaning and happiness [Passage 2].
