The New York Times-bestselling author "offers some practical tools for finding a more holistic return on an MBA investment" (David Wood, Fisher Graduate School, Monterey Institute, MBA, 1993).
As an MBA graduate, you can't risk wasting that expensive education, so it's time to reach for as much money and status as you can. It's the safe thing to do. Isn't it?
Not necessarily. Mark Albion doesn't pretend to have all the answers, but his unique perspective can help you find yours. There are other ways to look at potential risks and rewards, even when you have thousands of dollars of student loans to pay back. Money is important but it's not the key to fulfillment. The "safe" choice, the most monetarily rewarding one, can carry enormous psychological and spiritual pain. As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, "Sometimes money costs too much."
In More Than Money, Albion redefines the typical way the risk/reward equation is written, using his own life story and those of the many entrepreneurs, executives and MBAs he's met as both cautionary and inspirational tales. He introduces a framework of four crucial questions to consider when thinking about your career choices, as well as "lifelines," principles that can help you answer these questions and guide you to construct your personal, strategic destiny plan.
A consciousness-raising book as well as a career guide, More Than Money encourages MBA students to give themselves permission to be who they really want to be and find their path of service. For, as Albion says, in the end "we won't remember you for the size of your wallet as much as the size of your heart."

      Albion, a professor at Harvard for 18 years, states that he has written this book to inspire MBA students to create a life and a career dedicated to meaning and self-actualization. He says in the preface that the book asks one question in many ways, using questions and stories to reframe your careerdecisions for lifes essential purpose. The four core questions are (1) Who are you? (2) What do you want? (3) What can you do? and (4) Where are you going? He warns readers that what they perceive to be their safest choice may be their riskiest, and vice versa. Albion wrotethe book for three reasons: to make money; to inspire you and to give you the courage to focus your career on service, on creating a better world for all of us; and to provide a guidebook for what can be a difficult path.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
