That is, if you like sparkles. It’s your design, after all. Taking this to the end—the authors want you to truly get all your ideas of life & work out of your head, and onto paper. Craft your workview & life view, then take a log of how much your current life measures up.But I have two big takeaways that live in my head after reading this book through several times (and sharing the activities with friends over the years). #1: Your life isn’t all bad Reframe your mind and how you look at things, see things in various angle and take different approaches. Ask a stranger or someone you're not close to for their opinion, once in a while to get fresh perspective. First, you build a picture of your current life based on a Health/Work/Play/Love Dashboard. Then, you build yourself a life compass using your Workview and Lifeview.

At last, a book that shows you how to build - design - a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage. A well-designed life means a life well-lived. Many of us are still looking for an answer to that perennial question, 'What do I want to be when I grow up?'
