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

What exactly is a well-designed life ? It's a rich portfolio of experiences, adventures, and failures that teach us important lessons ; that result in hardships that make us stronger ; that help us know ourselves better ; it's a life of achievements and satisfactions. In Designing Your Lif, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans put forth the questions about life that we all ask about one's meaning and purpose in the world ; questions such as : How do I find a job that I like or maybe even love ? ...
How do I balance my career with my family ? ... How can I make a difference in the world ? We all want the answers to these questions. We're just not sure how to go about finding them, or where or how to begin. And we feel that we don't have the tools to find our way. Designers love questions, but what they really love is reframing questions. The re-framing for the question "What do I want to be when I grow up ? " is "What do I want to grow into ? " This is what Designing Your Life promises to show us-how to find what we want to do now, at any age, and how to answer who we want to grow into tomorrow.
