Executive Bookshelf : Designing Your Life: Build a Life that Works for You - Bill Burnett

Bill Burnett's "Designing Your Life" offers a novel approach to life planning based on design thinking principles. Burnett, a Stanford design professor, provides practical tools and exercises for applying design thinking to personal and professional challenges. The book encourages readers to view their lives as malleable prototypes that can be iteratively improved.

What I found most compelling about Burnett’s approach is the emphasis on viewing life as a series of experiments. This mindset shift has been incredibly liberating for me, allowing me to approach challenges with curiosity and creativity rather than fear and rigidity. Burnett's engaging writing style and actionable advice make this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking to create a fulfilling and purposeful life. "Designing Your Life" is an empowering guide that has inspired me to think more creatively about my own life design and to embrace a more flexible and adaptive approach to personal and professional growth.
