Introduction Professor Charles Handy is a world-renowned social philosopher and thinker, who believes that life is about choices. He points out, obviously enough, that life is not a dress rehearsal and that each individual must make the most of it. This means prioritising things in your life and concentrating on those that matter most.
Money makes the world go round, but it also makes choices possible.
Charles Handy is the living embodiment of making choices regarding money. For six months of the year he writes and lectures and the other six months he works for his wife, a photographer, carrying her cameras, umbrellas and so on. He has calculated his financial requirements to enable him to live a comfortable lifestyle, works for six months to cover those expenses and then assists his wife for the other six months. Technology is changing the way that we live and work. The internet and mobile telephony mean that people now have a choice about where and how they work.
