Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett

Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett

#1 New York Times Bestseller

At last, a book that shows you how to build--design--a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage

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.

Includes a bonus PDF of worksheets, journal exercises, illustrations, and more

Designing Your Life 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.
--Daniel Pink, bestselling author of Drive

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.
--David Kelley, Founder of IDEO

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.
--Publishers Weekly

Dave Evans wants to help people start their life 2.0. This starts with getting the financial house in order. His first book - New Investment Club (Save, Invest, Kick Wall Street's A$$) - provides a system for investing that takes the guesswork out of the stock market. He shows what works and what doesn't when it comes to investing in risky and safe assets. This book shows when and how to invest and - just as importantly - when not to invest. With tips for building an emergency fund, a high-risk/high reward retirement fund for twenty-somethings all of the way up to a conservative retirement fund, the focus is on smart risks and extremely low cost investments. All in about four hours a year. Dave's second book is Cheap & Rich (Retire Early / Live Better). This isn't your grandfather's retirement. The focus is on living the life you've dreamed about, but didn't think you could afford. Evans shows how smart investing, smart spending and working smart are the keys to living your life dream: the REAL AMERICAN DREAM.
