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.From the Hardcover edition.

    Ideas shared in the book are not entirely new for me. Nor they are worthless to remind oneself how you can help yourself if you got stuck in life and what to do next. If you feel like you need to make that important decision in life and you feel like there are other opportunities out there and you don't know what to do- it might be a good idea to practise exercises notoriously developed by book authors. Or perhaps you have several great options as job offers/ business partners/ mortgage /schools (you name it) ,and you don't know which to choose - the book might help. Overall, I enjoyed reading the book and yes , I've been doing all exercises described in the book as I was reading the book.
