<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>#1 <i>New York Times Bestseller </i></b> <p/><b>At last, a book that shows you how to build--<i>design--</i>a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage</b> <p/> 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. <p/> 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 <i>design and build </i>your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise. <p/><i>Designing Your Life</i> walks readers through the process of building a satisfying, meaningful life by approaching the challenge the way a designer would. Experimentation. Wayfinding. Prototyping. Constant iteration. You should read the book. Everyone else will. <br> --Daniel Pink, bestselling author of <i>Drive</i> <p/> "This [is] the career book of the next decade and . . . the go-to book that is read as a rite of passage whenever someone is ready to create a life they love."<br> --David Kelley, Founder of IDEO <p/> "An empowering book based on their popular class of the same name at Stanford University . . . Perhaps the book's most important lesson is that the only failure is settling for a life that makes one unhappy. With useful fact-finding exercises, an empathetic tone, and sensible advice, this book will easily earn a place among career-finding classics."<br> --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <b>#1 <i>New York Times </i>Bestseller </b> <p/>"Life has questions.
