#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • At last, a book that shows you how to build—design—a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage • “Life has questions. They have answers.” —The New York Times 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.

Book Description
Creating a happy life is not a destination, but a process. It starts with the desire to intentionally create a life of purpose - a life in which we choose to make a difference in the world. You would never start out to build a house without consulting an architect to create a blueprint plan. Why is it, then, that most people start out without a definite plan for their life? The information in this book will provide a blueprint for you to use to honestly reflect on where you are today and to chart a course for where you want to be. You deserve to live your ideal life. "The principles in this book are tried and true! This is a very easy read, and when this information is applied to one's life, greatness will surely follow!" - Logan Stout, Founder and CEO, IDLife "As a CEO, I know firsthand the value of having the right person in the right place doing something they love-that ONE THING they were meant to do. Becky Lynn Smith's book, Designing Your Ideal Life will help you do just that. Grab a copy, pay close attention, and you'll absolutely love what happens next!" - Steve Satterwhite, CEO of Entelligence and author of Above The Line: How The Golden Rule Rules the Bottom Line "Becky Lynn Smith nails it! If you feel that gnawing feeling that you could do something really special, go for it. But, you'll need a guidebook and encouragement. Thankfully, Designing Your Ideal Life is both." - Alex Charfen, CEO of The Charfen Institute Author and Speaker Becky Lynn Smith found her calling, and she wants to help you find yours. After working as an IT executive and leader for several world-class organizations including Exxon, Amoco, and AIM, she discovered what success really meant for her. Designing Your Ideal Life shares what she has learned about how to arrive at the place you were always meant to be and have the life you were meant to live.

Book Description
From the authors of the #1 New York Times bestseller Designing Your Life comes a revised, fully up-to-date edition of Designing Your New Work Life, a timely, urgently needed book that shows us how to transform our new uncharted work life into a meaningful dream job or company. With practical, useful tools, tips, and design ideas that show us how to navigate disruption (global, regional, or personal) and create new possibilities for our post-COVID work world and beyond. Bill Burnett and Dave Evans successfully taught graduate and undergraduate students at Stanford University and readers of their best-selling book, Designing Your Life ("The prototype for a happy life." —Brian Lehrer, NPR), that designers don't analyze, worry, think, complain their way forward; they build their way forward. And now more than ever, we all need creative and adaptable tools to cope with the chaos caused by COVID-19. In Designing Your New Work Life, Burnett and Evans show us how design thinking can transform our present job, and how it can improve our experience of work in times of disruption. All disruption is personal, write Burnett and Evans, as with the life-altering global pandemic we are living through now. Designing Your New Work Life makes clear that disruption is the new normal, that it is here to stay and that it is accelerating. And in the book's new chapters, Burnett and Evans show us step by step, how to design our way through disruption and how to stay ahead of it—and thrive. Burnett and Evans's Disruption Design offers us a radical new concept that makes use of the designer mindsets: Curiosity, Reframing, Radical collaboration, Awareness, Bias to action, Storytelling, to find our way through these unchartered times. In Designing Your New Work Life, Burnett and Evans show us, with tools, tips, and design ideas, how we can make new possibilities available even when our lives have been disrupted (be it globally, regionally, or personally), giving us the tools to enjoy the present moment and allowing us to begin to prototype our possible future.

Book Description
When Designing Your Life was published in 2016, Stanford’s Bill Burnett and Dave Evans taught readers how to use design thinking to build meaningful, fulfilling lives (“Life has questions. They have answers.” –The New York Times). The book struck a chord, becoming an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. Now, in DESIGNING YOUR WORK LIFE: How to Thrive and Change and Find Happiness at Work they apply that transformative thinking to the place we spend more time than anywhere else: work. DESIGNING YOUR WORK LIFE teaches readers how to create the job they want—without necessarily leaving the job they already have. “Increasingly, it’s up to workers to define their own happiness and success in this ever-moving landscape,” they write, and chapter by chapter, they demonstrate how to build positive change, wherever you are in your career. Whether you want to stay in your job and make it a more meaningful experience, or if you decide it’s time to move on, Evans and Burnett show you how to visualize and build a work-life that is productive, engaged, meaningful, and more fun.

Book Description
It’s a hard truth, but you are where you are today because of the decisions you’ve made each day to this point. Your decisions, good and bad, have shaped your life. The challenge is that most of us don’t think about many of our daily decisions. Our subconscious programing creates habits that often lead us through our days without any thought as to why we do what we do. With this lack of focus on direction, is it any wonder that people are frustrated with their lives? Success with Goals shares a goal-setting process that the author has been using and refining for over 25 years—one that has had a profound impact on his life. It’s a process he’s taught to thousands of employees and clients, helping them transform their lives. When you know exactly what you want in life—and apply this amazing process—you’ll find yourself developing into the kind of person you needed to become, to succeed at levels you’ve never imagined! Using the tools in this book, you will be consciously making decisions that will help you design your life with purpose. Reprogram your thoughts and ideas with the kind of focus and intention that will have you driving toward the goals you’ve always wanted to achieve. The kind of goals that change your life!
