This really works! In book form for the first time, the simple, scientifically proven method that has already changed thousands of lives Right now what is left for me is to get some prototypes ready for my parallel lives to experiment with and then delve into the most exciting one. 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?' Design Thinking คือการกลับมาทบทวนเเล้วเข้าใจในตัวเองก่อน เราคงจะออกเเบบผลิตภัณฑ์ใดๆไม่ได้ ถ้าไม่เข้าใจถึงตัวผลิตภัณฑ์จริงมั้ยครับ จากเเนวคิดนี้เมื่อนำมาใช้ในการออกเเบบชีวิต เราจึงต้องเข้าใจเเละยอมรับปัญหาของตัวเองก่อน โดยจะปรากฏในส่วนเเรกๆของหนังสือที่จะมีคล้ายๆเเบบฝึกหัดให้เราสำรวจตัวเองตัวเองดู อะไรคือสิ่งที่เราชอบ เราอยากใช้ชีวิตโดยมีสิ่งใดเป็นเป้าหมาย จากนั้นจึงนำสิ่งเหล่านี้มาสร้างทางเลือกของชีวิต เเละเดินตามทางพร้อมปรับเปลี่ยนเเผนไปโดยตลอดให้สมบูรณ์มากขึ้น ถ้าวันใดรู้สึกหลงทาง ลองกลับไปที่พิจารณาที่จุดเริ่มต้นอีกครั้งว่าเรากำลังเดินทางมาโดยมีเเนวคิดตั้งต้นเป็นเข็มทิศหรือไม่ ถ้าไม่ใช่ ก็ถึงเวลาปรับทิศทางใหม่อีกครั้ง Everything is written in an closed system, containing author's belief that work for your life, winning over the popular beliefs we usually have that don't actually work. If you use every single practice and exercise given in the book together or separately, your life would become much more balanced. It would feel like you have to just snap your fingers and boom, you get your results. Okay maybe not entirely like that, but it's competent enough to be believable. Also, this book informs the readers beforehand, in case they begin to act upon it, which is something they highly recommend including myself (not a member in the development of book), that your dream life wouldn't become a reality. It's not the point and it certainly will never happen. If your expecting that then don't lumber yourself. You will just find more ease and satisfaction in work and personal life rather than pure fantasy.

Designing Your Life Designing Your Life

I think Designing Your Life is a great reference book to have on your shelf. Anytime you feel disgruntled with your life, rather than making moves on the first idea that comes to your head, you can be methodical and create a BUNCH of ideas to choose from. Then, you can narrow down and prototype so you don’t find yourself jumping headfirst into a new life that won’t solve the issues you’re currently having. Now that you have a bunch of individualized ideas for your life, they walk you through Prototyping. After that, they spend a few chapters on skills such as job hunting, creating your dream job, and choosing happiness. Yeni bir alışkanlık kazanmanın ne kadar zor olduğunu biliyorum, üzerine okuduğum kitaplar da var. Bu kitabın akademisyenler tarafından yazıldığı çok belli. Hayat bu şekilde çalışmaz. Kendimize ödevler verip bunları müthiş bir disiplinle uygulayabiliyor olsaydık zaten bu kitabı okumazdık. 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 badIn Stanford’s Design Program, we have taught more than a thousand students design thinking and how to design their lives. And we’ll let you in on a secret—no one has ever failed our class. In fact, it’s impossible to flunk. We have more than sixty years of combined teaching experience, and we have taught this approach to high school students, college students, graduate students, Ph.D. students, twenty-somethings, mid-career executives, and retirees wanting an “encore” career. As I read this book I realized that my work-life situation is close to ideal. Yet the book seemed heavily weighted to analyzing and adjusting your work/career situation. Personally I could have used more assistance with enhancing the "play" portion of my life. I did make a mental note to refer to this book should I decided to have an encore career or change career directions later in life. I was so excited and hooked throughout the entire book until the end I'm writing this review at 3.27 a.m. 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, author of Drive

Designing Your Life: How to Think Like a Designer and Build a

So why only three stars? Poor expectation management: It's not entirely clear from the title or the blurb that this book is exclusively about designing your career, and when I started reading this I was expecting something much more holistic. If you're not looking to make changes in your career, then this book doesn't really have anything to offer you, even if you *do* want to actively design other parts of your life. I'm sure that some of the concepts are applicable to other areas of life, but learning how to apply them to different areas would require a whole 'nother book. (Or, you know, already being intimately familiar with design thinking.) I have already recommended this book to 6 of my friends. Created a what's up group for 4 of my friends and we will embark on it together. There is no design problem more challenging than figuring out what we are going to do with our life . . . Bill Burnett and Dave Evans are bringing their powerful insights to readers everywhere to help them create a productive and happy life . . . 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 the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford The narrative and examples are well written and the key points are articulated in a manner that keeps the reader’s interested. Quality World Hayatınızı planlamaya çalışırken uymanız gereken güzel konular var: Önce hangi noktada olduğunuzun tespiti, gitmek istediğiniz yönün belirlenmesi, arada tefekkür ile doğru istikamette gidip gitmediğinizi düşünme, iş bulma konusunda ya da hayalinizdeki işi yaratmak için tavsiyeler… hepsi kıymetli. Fakat pratikteki örnekler elişi çalışmasına indirgeniyor. Sanırım bir de egzersiz kitabı çıkmış bunun :)Which was a greater challenge while building your compass: describing your Workview or describing your Lifeview? In the introduction, the authors point out that only 27 percent of college graduates have a career related to their majors. What did you think when you read that statistic? Are you among the 27 percent? A great point that the authors make is that your life is always shifting. You’re changing, your environment is changing, so there’s no reason why your dreams should be a fixed point. If, instead of settling on one fixed dream for your life, you lean into life as an adventure of constant creation, you’re going to find much more satisfaction. I’m not a fan of non-fiction so I’m unsure of the audible or the Material itself is to blame 😑 Whatever the reason, I found finishing this book a true challenge. One I failed miserably at I might add. That’s right DNF.

Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life

Designers imagine things that don’t yet exist, and then they build them, and then the world changes. You can do this in your own life. You can imagine a career and a life that don’t exist; you can build that future you, and as a result your life will change. If your life is pretty perfect as is, life design can still help you make it an even better version of the life you currently love living. The book explains to the reader that happiness does not necessarily mean having everything one could desire. It places an emphasis on getting rid of things that are not necessary. It also helps explain that one should not dwell on past mistakes or bad decision making and that they should instead focus on ways to improve their decision making abilities. [5] Failure Immunity [ edit ] Imagine a conversation between Vaclav Havel and Steve Jobs—the playwright-become-politician who drew on an older wisdom about the good life lived in the modern world, and the iconic visionary who worked his dreams into the marketplace of the 21st-century—and you begin to get some sense of the importance of Designing Your Life. Playful and serious at the same time, the authors have drawn on years of working in the design world of Silicon Valley and years of teaching at Stanford University to invite us into an honest conversation about forming a well-lived life Steven Garber, The Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation and Culture Before you can do life design, you need to learn to think like a designer. We’ll explain a few simple ways to do this, but first you need to understand one really big point: Designers don’t think their way forward. Designers build their way forward. What does that mean? It means you are not just going to be dreaming up a lot of fun fantasies that have no relationship to the real world—or the real you. You are going to build things (we call them prototypes), try stuff, and have a lot of fun in the process. Designing Your Life] teaches you how to change what's not working by turning ideas on their head' Viv Groskop, author of How To Own The Room

Want a career change? This book will help you make that change, but not by sitting around trying to decide what that change is going to be. We’re going to help you think like a designer and build your future, prototype by prototype. We’re going to help you approach your own life design challenges with the same kind of curiosity and the same kind of creativity that resulted in the invention of the printing press, the lightbulb, and the Internet. Design Thinking konseptinin insanın kendi hayatına uyarlaması kitabın ana fikri. Çok güzel noktalara değiniyor ancak kitabın yazılış biçimi çok kötü. İngilizce öğreten ders kitapları gibi. Her bölümün sonlarında evde yapmanız gereken aktiviteler paylaşıyor. Baya pdf olarak indirip, yazıcıdan çıktı alıp doldurmanız gereken formlar var, ve bunların bazılarını bir alışkanlık haline getirmenizi, haftada/ayda/yılda bir yapmanızı istiyor. The book walks you through a series of exercises that build on each other to help you build your ideal life. It roughly follows the design thinking process, which involves immersing yourself in the current state of things, defining the exact problem, brainstorming new ideas, then testing the best ideas out. What is the difference between pursuing a job and pursuing an offer? In your own life, which do you generally do?
