Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans is a practical self-help book that uses design thinking principles to help individuals of any age or career stage build a meaningful and fulfilling life

The central idea of the book is that the same creative and problem-solving mindset used by designers to build products can be applied to “design” one’s own life and career. It emphasizes that life is not a fixed plan but a continuous design project involving experimentation and iteration. The authors teach readers to get “unstuck” by reframing problems and embracing the idea that there are multiple possible fulfilling lives they could live.
