Summary
Whether you're 20, 40, 60 or older, many of us are still looking for an answer to that perennial question: 'what do I want to be when I grow up?'
In Designing Your Life, Silicon Valley design innovators Bill Burnett and Dave Evans use their expertise to help you work out what you want - and how to get it. Their phenomenally successful Life Design course has been tried and tested by thousands of people, from students to midcareer professionals to retirees contemplating whole new futures.
Now in audiobook form, their simple method will teach you how to use basic design tools to create a life that will work for you. Using lots of real-life stories and proven techniques like reframing, prototyping and mind-mapping, you will learn how to build your way forwards, step by positive step, to a life that's better by a design of your own making. Because a well-designed life means a life well lived.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

There are better alternatives
I don't like to be mean but this was so dull I couldn't finish it, and that's very unusual. it does offer a plan to be worked through - perhaps it works better as a book. I have recently listened to Tara Swart's 'The Source' and Rangan Chatterjee's first two books. Although not quite the same sort of thing, I'd recommend them if you're looking to make changes in your life.

One of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to
Fascinating. Practical. Engaging. Relevant. This is a book that I will come back to again and again. Strongly recommend you listen to this with a notebook to hand and print the relevant PDFs (link on Audible or the authors' website) and make sure you are able to pause and do the writing exercises. Everyone should listen to this and work through the exercises.

Thought I already knew the bulk of what this book was going to say having watched a few talks on the subject from the authors. Really glad I listened to it anyways because it offered so much more insight! Really worth the read!

interesting perspective
from chapter 4 it becomes significant. ...was an interesting book for those who could never answer the question 'what are you going to be when you grow up'? refreshing to know I'm still growing

Really Enjoyed it
I haven't downloaded the workshop worksheets yet but I thought it was insightful.
Probably not as easy in real life but I am interested in doing the exercise and see what happens

Insightful read
I have been practising design thinking for some time now but recently been stuck at my own life and could not quite find the right one to use it - this booked helped me and sparked my curiously and design spirit again. Thank you!
