Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life

Written by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans

OPL BOOK SUMMARY: 

Have you ever been curious about what would be the most joyful life for you? What gives you joy? What does not give you joy? How can you build a well-lived life?

This is a wayfinding process. As the authors state: “Wayfinding is the ancient art of figuring out where you are going when you don’t actually know your destination.”

This book guides your exploration as you hone in on the actions to build your life. Learn how to handle gravity problems — the ones that are good at getting us stuck from moving forward.  Create your dashboard and identify actions for a life that makes sense.

Bill Burnet and Dave Evans are Standford University Professors of the hugely successful course “Designing Your Life.”  “A well-designed life is a life that makes sense. It’s a life in which who you are, what you believe, and what you do all line up together.” 

It is as if we are all able to attend the hugely successful Stanford University course where Burnett and Evans share their insights, technology,, and tools. Is it time to begin designing your life?
