Designing Your Life

Bill Burnett & Dave Evans · 2016

Try possibilities before committing to one future.

Big Idea

The book proposes exploring several possible lives through small experiments instead of waiting for one perfect calling.

Start where you are

Notice your present situation before deciding what needs to change.

Energy and engagement

Track activities that absorb or drain you to find patterns worth exploring.

Workview and lifeview

Compare what work means to you with what you believe makes life worthwhile.

Odyssey plans

Sketch three different futures so your current plan stops looking like the only possibility.

Prototypes

Conversations and short experiences can test an idea before a major commitment.

Khizooo Take

Test one direction with a conversation or small project before making a life-changing decision.

  • Book ideas for reflection, not individualized medical or mental-health treatment.

Remember

Build evidence for a direction by trying it.
