Look around you. Everything you see now was created by design, and every design is meant to address a problem that needs solving.
Bill Burnett and Dave Evans' Designing Your Life presents us a way of thinking to design a life full of joy and meaning—no matter who we are, where we come from, what we do, and why we do it. The design thinking employed in creating those advancements in the industry and technology—from the chair you may be sitting on right now to the screen you are reading this from—is the same one you can use to plan and build those important areas in your life.
A well-designed life is also a fulfilling one, productive and satisfying. In Designing Your Life, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans also show how you can create options and follow through beyond that well-designed life—how you can build one that is also well-lived.

Introduction
There once was a time when even people who graduated in prestigious colleges or universities could not find a job that paid the bills. Students nowadays finish their degree with a sum of debt large enough to fill a Brinks truck, yet they end up as a barista at Starbucks or along the lines of the service industry. Should you somehow find yourself in the same fateful circumstance, this summary of Bill Burnett and Dave Evans' Designing Your Life: How to Build a Joyful, Well-lived Life will teach you new strategies which you can then utilize to produce those innovative ideas that are guaranteed to make your life better.
Fresh graduates, as well as people still indecisive about their careers, could be helped by this summary. There is also a process in this summary that demonstrates how those stuck in the same place eventually come upon new concepts and hence make significant progress. Establishing new beliefs compels us to take a step further and build the life we have dreamed.

In fact, only a third of working American citizens have stated that they feel some degree of happiness with their work. Fifteen percent, however, have admitted that they dislike their work. If only they went the extra mile and planned a life that aligns with what suits them, they will most likely feel more content with their careers.
Success at work and fulfillment of responsibilities—although they may warrant honor and draw admiration—could never guarantee happiness.
For most people aged forty or more, settling for another career could give contentment in later life. It is up to you and you alone to take the courage and pursue another career. Most people, however, do not know how to manage such transition. The others who do may be scared to try, thinking either it is too late or they are too old to make that leap. Designing your life begins in making the choice to jump. Stop thinking that it is too late, and start believing that now is the perfect time. Design your life according to
