Designing your life : how to build a well-lived, joyful life

Burnett, William (Consulting professor of design) (author.). Evans, David J. (David John), 1953- (author.).

Summary: "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." -- Provided by publisher.
