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.

The basic messages of the book summon up, and resonate with, my own experiences as an MBA student, and I realize that I would have been one of the people this book was intended for. I m reminded of some of the lessons I ve learned the hard way since leaving my MBA program. Not only does More Than Money invite us to question how success is really best measured, but it also offers some practical tools for finding a more holistic return on an MBA investment.

Before getting an MBA, read More Than Money. This book revolutionizes business school education and will help any MBA student get more out of school. In his special way, Dr. Mark leads you to define first what you want to do with your life. He does so by guiding you not with answers but with crucial questions that help you connect with who you are and what you wanted as a child but deemed impossible. Now it is possible.

More Than Money reaffirms that as human beings we first need to love and be loved before we are MBAs. Our MBA degrees, our positions, money, and assets are tools that can help us to love. For when all is said and done, on our deathbeds, love is the only thing that will have mattered. Thank you, Dr. Mark, for being that voice that speaks to our spirits, not just our heads.

This book has me thinking in a very serious way about my life, my place in the world, and how my strengths and talents can be of service.
