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.

This should be read by every teenager confused about the “What shall I do with my life?” question. Even if you aren't, read it anyway - because what you think is right for you may not be right at all. Avoid making a costly mistake! For adults, it's never too late. It's a great guide for those wondering how to go about a change of career and lifestyle.
PS: Be sure to do the exercises. They are invaluable.
