Description
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • At last, a book that shows you how to build—design—a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage • “Life has questions. They have answers.” —The New York Times
Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking. Look around your office or home—at 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 both 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 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, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.

Highly recommend!
5By _KLW_12This book is perfect for anyone looking for more clear direction in their life. It provides very practical advice and easy-to-follow reflection activities. It always seems dramatic to say a book changed your life, but this one came close.Incredible tool for reframing life choices.
5By MZ345Honestly and objectively reflect on your life and future life. Gain a deeper understanding of your interests, strengths, and weaknesses. Reframe how you view failure. This book is full of incredibly useful ideas, exercises, and insight. Appropriate for anyone -- not just a design book.Boring
