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

DNF. Quite tired of the usual IDEO bullshit to be honest.

I probably shouldn't have really marked this as started in the first place. I don't count self help as reading. 

Applying Design Thinking framework to your life (designing your life) in a meaningful and enriching way.
The writers do come across (and I'm pretty sure they are) experts and practitioners.

Reading this book at a critical decision point in your life can be super helpful as well as to make fine tuning and make mindset shifts during calm periods of your life.

I like the balance between time/pages spent on explaining the concepts, exercises and people stories.

debated giving it ***, but it is an ok read for sure.
Gave some good ideas like imagine what you would do if you were in a different career - and do it 5 times. Basically think over different results 5 times because the first idea may not be the best or most creative.

I like the examples he used, but I recently listened to a podcast (How to be Awesome at your Job) and they had an episode about life design that was more helpful. BUT nice that these things sort of met up in my life.

“You can't know where you're going until you know where you are.”

(and have short attention span like me)

Meh

Last two chapters were needlessly wordy.

This should be read by every teenager confused about the “What shall I do with my life?” question. Even if you aren't, read it anyway - because what you think is right for you may not be right at all. Avoid making a costly mistake! For adults, it's never too late. It's a great guide for those wondering how to go about a change of career and lifestyle.

PS: Be sure to do the exercises. They are invaluable.
