Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life

Innovative approach to crafting fulfilling life experiences.

If you're at a crossroads or just feeling a bit stuck in life, "Designing Your Life" might be the compass you need. Burnett and Evans have taken a concept as abstract as life and break it down into a design problem. This book encourages you to apply creativity and structured thinking to tailor a life that resonates with your personal values and aspirations, just as a designer would approach a complex project. It's a pragmatic blend of philosophy and action—perfect if you're ready to architect your own path.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

At last, a book that shows you how to build a life you can thrive in through design thinking. Designers create worlds and solve problems by applying design thinking. Look around your office or home—the tablet or smartphone you may be holding or the chair you are sitting in. Everything in our lives was designed by someone, and every design starts with a problem that a designer or team of designers seeks to solve. In this book, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show us how design thinking can help us create a life that is meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are. The same design thinking that is responsible for amazing technology, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and your life—a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, with the possibility of surprise.
