What's it about?

Life isn't a problem to be solved—it's an experience to be designed. Stanford professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans revolutionize how we approach life's biggest questions by applying design thinking principles to personal fulfillment. Instead of searching for your "one true passion," learn to think like a designer: embrace curiosity, prototype possibilities, and build your way forward through small experiments.

This practical guide teaches you to create multiple life plans, navigate career transitions, and design a coherent life where your beliefs, values, and actions align.

In this KITUP, you'll learn:

• Generate creative solutions when you feel stuck

• Access hidden job opportunities through strategic networking

• Make better life decisions using proven design methods
