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

#1 New York Times BestsellerÂ

An inspiring and thought-provoking graduation gift: At last, a book that shows you how to buildâ€”designâ€”a life you can thrive in, at any age or stageÂ

Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking. Look around your office or homeâ€”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 toÂ design and buildÂ your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.

"Designing Your LifeÂ 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."Â
â€”Daniel Pink, bestselling author ofÂ Drive
Â
â€œThis [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.â€
â€”David Kelley, Founder of IDEO

â€œAn empowering book based on their popular class of the same name at Stanford University . . . Perhaps the bookâ€™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.â€
