Summary

MBA students are chronically risk-averse. Their risk aversion prevents them from seeking and living a life of meaning and purpose. This book redefines the meaning of risk, and/or asks business students to look at risk in a new way. It shows students that the choices they think of as safe (e.g. lucrative jobs that fulfill no personal aspirations aside from financial gain, deferring service to others until retirement, etc.) are actually quite risky, since they typically lead us to sell our souls. A consciousness-raising book rather than a how-to, Albion helps MBA students give themselves "permission" to be who they really want to be. It helps readers develop the will to create a meaningful life.

Author Biography

Mark Albion is a social entrepreneur and author. He spent eighteen years as a student and professor at Harvard University and Harvard Business School and was profiled on 60 Minutes as one of the top young business professors in the United States. He has served as a board member and consultant to major retailers and consumer product giants such as Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble and has written three award- winning marketing books. He left Harvard to develop a community of service-minded MBAs and cofounded Net Impact in 1993. He has since spoken at more than 125 business schools on five continents, for which Business Week called him “the savior of b-school souls.”
