BEST SELLER #1 NEW YORK TIMES - Finally a book that shows you how to build and design a life in which you can thrive, 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 you, in the office or at home, the tablet or smartphone you may be holding or the chair you are sitting on. Everything that is part of our lives has been 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 meaningful and fulfilling life, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done to make a living, or our age. The same conceptual thinking that's behind amazing technologies, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, always offering the possibility of surprise.
