Summary:
"From the authors of the #
1
New York Times best seller Designing Your Life ("Life has questions. They have answers" --The NYT)--a job-changing, outlook-changing, life-changing book that shows us how to transform our work lives and create a dream job that is meaningful without necessarily changing the job we have. Dysfunctional belief: I'm stuck in a lousy situation (and there's nothing I can do about it). Reframe: I'm stuck in a lousy situation (and I'm finding the problems and the solutions). Bill Burnett and Dave Evans successfully taught graduate and undergraduate students at Stanford University and readers of their best-selling book, Designing Your Life ("The prototype for a happy life." --Brian Lehrer, NPR), that designers don't analyze, worry, think, complain their way forward; they build their way forward. In Designing Your Work Life, Burnett and Evans show us how design thinking can transform our present job and our experience of work in general by utilizing the designer mindsets: Curiosity. Reframing. Radical collaboration. Awareness. Prototyping. Storytelling. All from the comfort of our office, cubicle, workstation. Burnett and Evans show us - with tools, tips, and ideas, how to get unstuck and escape the trap of "it'll never be good enough" by designing and building a better job and work life - one that is good enough - at least good enough for now, with the work world offering us a constantly changing opportunity, making new possibilities available to redesign and revitalize our working lives. Burnett and Evans show us how to enjoy the present moment at our jobs and to attain the freedom to prototype a new future without necessarily leaving. (...)"--Jacket.
