"Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life" by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans offers a fresh approach to living a fulfilling life by applying design thinking principles. The book invites readers to actively shape their lives rather than just going with the flow. It's all about trying new things, staying open to change, and building a life that reflects your values and interests. The authors highlight five key aspects of being a life designer. First, stay curious - approach life with a sense of wonder and exploration. Second, try stuff - don't be afraid to experiment and learn from mistakes. Third, reframe problems - look at challenges from different angles to find creative solutions. Fourth, recognize that it's a journey - designing your life is an ongoing process, not a one-time deal. Finally, don't be afraid to ask for help - seek support and collaborate with others when needed. The book also offers a practical 11-step guide to designing your life. Start by assessing where you're at right now, use the compass to figure out what really matters to you, break through roadblocks by challenging any limiting beliefs you may have, and other else. You'll learn how to make informed choices that fit with your life design and prioritizing happiness means focusing on what brings you joy and fulfillment in life. By embracing the mindset of a designer, you can tackle life's challenges with creativity and confidence.

How to build a well-lived, joyful life? You can find the answer in one of the most popular courses at Stanford University––the life design class. The life design class teaches you to make career plans using design thinking, and also to find a suitable job and live a happy life. The course also offers a lot of specific instructions, helping many students find the direction of their life and career. This book is a summary of the life design class.

This week, Lisa and Misty conclude their review of the #1 New York Times bestseller Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. Bill Burnett is the Executive Director of the Design Program at Stanford as well as an adjunct professor in mechanical engineering. He got his BS and MS in Product Design at Stanford and has worked professionally on a wide variety of projects ranging from award-winning Apple PowerBooks to the original Hasbro Star Wars action figures. He holds a number of mechanical and design patents, and design awards for a variety of products including the first “slate” computer. In addition to his duties at Stanford, he is a on the Board of VOZ (pronounced “VAWS – it means voice in Spanish) a socially-responsible high fashion startup and advises several Internet start-up companies. Dave Evans is a lecturer at the Product Design Program at Stanford, as well as a management consultant and c-founder of Electronic Arts. Having participated in forming the corporate cultures at Apple and EA, Dave decided his best work was in helping organizations build creative environments where people could do great work and love doing it. So he went out on his own; working with start-up teams, corporate executives, non-profit leaders, and countless young adults. They were all asking the same question. “What should I do with my life?” Helping people get traction on that question finally took Dave to Cal and Stanford and continues to be his life’s work. Dave holds a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford and a graduate diploma in Contemplative Spirituality from San Francisco Theological Seminary.

The Covid-19 outbreak has caused major upheaval in the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Things that seemed important only a few weeks ago have faded into the background. That massive dislocation has caused many to re-evaluate both the content and the context of their lives. Some people will re-evaluate their lives based on their own initiative. For many, that re-evaluation won’t happen until it’s forced upon them. Perhaps Covid-19 will be that forcing function, even if you don’t have the misfortune of contracting the disease, the disruption caused by it could be enough to cause a reset. The silver lining could be re-evaluating your life. This month’s book is “Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well Lived Joyful Life” by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. Nothing could be more timely than re-evaluating and re-designing your life. Since life isn’t normal now, why would you want things to go back to normal. I actually don’t want things to go back to normal. I want my life to move forward so that what emerges from this dislocation in history is better than it was before. I fancy myself a designer. I used to design microchips. Then I designed systems that would process millions of phone calls per hour. I designed hardware systems. These days I’m designing subdivisions, and buildings, and apartments. Of course this is a team effort involving architects and engineers of many disciplines. Designers love problems. Every single item that you find in your house was the result of some designer somewhere encountering a problem and coming up with a solution. That’s why you have running water. That’s why you have a dishwasher and a toaster and a chair. These things would not exist if there were no problems. They were only created in response to a problem in each single case. So if you’re going to design your life, you absolutely need problems. Lord knows, there seems to be no shortage of problems at the moment. The book is based on a design methodology that has been taught at Stanford University for over 50 years. Design thinking starts with curiosity. Often times people are working on solving the wrong problems. So perhaps a re-frame of the question of the problem can get you unstuck. Connecting the dots to create a meaningful life involves getting connecting who you are, what you believe, and what you do. When these three are connected together, you will experience a more meaningful life. But if you’re never asking yourself the questions, you won’t get clarity. More importantly, life isn’t a destination, but a journey. If you spend your entire life chasing an elusive destination, then you will have missed it. You can’t solve a problem, you’re not willing to have. If you’re not willing to accept the problem, then it’s not really a problem and it’s merely a circumstance. It’s what you choose in life that makes you happy. Designing this requires evaluating several alternate futures. The obvious first choice is to take your current path that you’re on and simply making it better If your current reality was uprooted and you needed to do a plan B, what would that be? Finally, if you had no constraints and could design your wild-card plan, would that be? Things that come up on the other plans were items that were part of the past ideas that got lost along the way. By creating three alternative life paths you will generate enough ideas to figure out where you want to go next. Prototype your life. That is try it on for size so that you will know at an emotional level if the choice works for you. Choose well. That doesn’t mean making the best, choice, but it means making the choice in a way that you’re going to let go of the other alternatives and not second guess yourself. The book design your life might be the best thing you can immerse yourself in right now when your life has been disrupted.
