Description
This really works! In book form for the first time, the simple, scientifically proven method that has already changed thousands of lives.
Change your life in 2023 with the simple, scientifically proven method that has already worked for thousands of people.
'Life has questions. They have answers' - New York Times
At last, a book that shows you how to build - design - a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage. A well-designed life means a life well-lived. Many of us are still looking for an answer to that perennial question, 'What do I want to be when I grow up?'
Stanford innovators Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show us how design thinking can help us create a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of who and where we are, our careers and our age. Designing Your Life puts forward the idea that the same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products and spaces can be used to build towards a better life and career by a design of your own making.
Designing Your Life teaches you how to change what's not working by turning ideas on their head - Viv Groskop, author of How To Own The Room
An empowering book based on their popular class of the same name at Stanford University...this book will easily earn a place among career-finding classics - Publishers Weekly
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans is praised for applying design thinking principles to personal and career development. The authors suggest methods like reframing, prototyping, and brainstorming to improve decision-making and enhance fulfilment. Critics highlight the book's experiential approach, which embraces failure as part of the process, offering a creative alternative to conventional, data-driven mindsets. It's described as empowering and insightful, promoting a playful and exploratory attitude towards shaping one's life path.
