Designing Your Life Bill Burnett,Dave Evans

"Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life" is a book by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans that aims to help readers organize themselves through journaling and design thinking. The book was published in 2016 by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. The book utilizes a series of exercises throughout its eleven chapters in order to provide others with a sense of structure in their lives. These creative and thought-provoking exercises allow the reader to reflect on their life and determine what they should do with their future. They can then generate a road map and plan how to accomplish their goals. Some of the book's key concepts are: Curiosity. It helps to see opportunities and get good at being lucky. Bias to action/try stuff. It is a commitment to moving forward rather than sitting on the bench. Designers try many things and test things. Reframe problems. It helps to get unstuck and makes sure the reader is working on the right problem. Know it’s a process. Life is messy, mistakes will be made, and prototypes will be thrown away. Ask for help. Radical collaboration is key.
