Biographical Note: -- The New York Times "The prototype for a happy life . . . Burnett and Evans show how to apply Stanford's famous design principles to finding your place in the world, as a recent graduate or mid-career." --NPR's Brian Lehrer " Designing Your Life walks readers through the process of building a satisfying, meaningful life by approaching the challenge the way a designer would. Experimentation. Wayfinding. Prototyping. Constant iteration. You should read the book. Everyone else will." --Daniel Pink, bestselling author of Drive "This [is] the career book of the next decade and . . . the go-to book that is read as a rite of passage whenever someone is ready to create a life they love." --David Kelley, Founder of IDEO "Burnett and Evans believe there isn't one perfect job waiting for us any more than there is one perfect solution to a design problem. Rather, our professional lives are journeys that involve trying lots of jobs in order to find the ones that make us happy. Everyone should read this book!" --Ina Garten, author of the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks and host of Food Network's Barefoot Contessa "An empowering book based on their popular class of the same name at Stanford University . . . Perhaps the book's most important lesson is that the only failure is settling for a life that makes one unhappy. With useful fact-finding exercises, an empathetic tone, and sensible advice, this book will easily earn a place among career-finding classics." -- Publishers Weekly Publisher Marketing: The Interactive Companion to the #1 New York Times Bestselling Book Design the most important project of all: your life.
