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

#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.Author: Bill Burnett, Dave EvansBinding Type: HardcoverPublisher: Knopf Publishing GroupPublished: 09/20/2016Pages: 272Weight: 1.05lbsSize: 8.30h x 6.20w x 1.10dISBN: 9781101875322Review Citation(s): Library Journal Prepub Alert 04/15/2016 pg. 64Library Journal 07/01/2016 pg. 74Publishers Weekly 07/04/2016Booklist 09/01/2016 pg. 20BookPage 10/01/2016Library Journal 04/15/2016Choice 06/01/2017About the AuthorBILL BURNETT is the executive director of the Design Program at Stanford.
