Book Description

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • At last, a book that shows you how to build—design—a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage • “Life has questions. They have answers.” —The New York Times Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking. Look around your office or home—at the tablet or smartphone you may be holding or the chair you are sitting in. Everything in our lives was designed by someone. And every design starts with a problem that a designer or team of designers seeks to solve. In this book, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show us how design thinking can help us create a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are. The same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.

Book Description

Creating a happy life is not a destination, but a process. It starts with the desire to intentionally create a life of purpose - a life in which we choose to make a difference in the world. You would never start out to build a house without consulting an architect to create a blueprint plan. Why is it, then, that most people start out without a definite plan for their life? The information in this book will provide a blueprint for you to use to honestly reflect on where you are today and to chart a course for where you want to be. You deserve to live your ideal life. "The principles in this book are tried and true! This is a very easy read, and when this information is applied to one's life, greatness will surely follow!" - Logan Stout, Founder and CEO, IDLife "As a CEO, I know firsthand the value of having the right person in the right place doing something they love-that ONE THING they were meant to do. Becky Lynn Smith's book, Designing Your Ideal Life will help you do just that. Grab a copy, pay close attention, and you'll absolutely love what happens next!" - Steve Satterwhite, CEO of Entelligence and author of Above The Line: How The Golden Rule Rules the Bottom Line "Becky Lynn Smith nails it! If you feel that gnawing feeling that you could do something really special, go for it. But, you'll need a guidebook and encouragement. Thankfully, Designing Your Ideal Life is both." - Alex Charfen, CEO of The Charfen Institute Author and Speaker Becky Lynn Smith found her calling, and she wants to help you find yours. After working as an IT executive and leader for several world-class organizations including Exxon, Amoco, and AIM, she discovered what success really meant for her. Designing Your Ideal Life shares what she has learned about how to arrive at the place you were always meant to be and have the life you were meant to live.

After five years, she now runs a six-figure business from her laptop, while living out of a suitcase and teaching entrepreneurs worldwide how to build a business and lifestyle they love. In The Suitcase Entrepreneur you’ll learn how to establish your business online, reach a global audience, and build a virtual team to give you more free time, money, and independence. With a new introduction, as well as updated resources and information, this practical guide uncovers the three key stages of creating a self-sufficient business and how to become a successful digital nomad and live life on your own terms.

Book Description

When Designing Your Life was published in 2016, Stanford’s Bill Burnett and Dave Evans taught readers how to use design thinking to build meaningful, fulfilling lives (“Life has questions. They have answers.” –The New York Times). The book struck a chord, becoming an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. Now, in DESIGNING YOUR WORK LIFE: How to Thrive and Change and Find Happiness at Work they apply that transformative thinking to the place we spend more time than anywhere else: work. DESIGNING YOUR WORK LIFE teaches readers how to create the job they want—without necessarily leaving the job they already have. “Increasingly, it’s up to workers to define their own happiness and success in this ever-moving landscape,” they write, and chapter by chapter, they demonstrate how to build positive change, wherever you are in your career. Whether you want to stay in your job and make it a more meaningful experience, or if you decide it’s time to move on, Evans and Burnett show you how to visualize and build a work-life that is productive, engaged, meaningful, and more fun.

Book Description

This is THE handbook for life. I wanted to put together all the useful information about finding meaning and designing a productive and useful life from what I’ve seen, read, and experienced. And this is it… This is the last book you’ll need to design or redesign your life and put it in the right place and direction for movement, progress, and success. This is not just a book. This is a blueprint. It’s not enough to get information or to get informed. It’s important to get a tool which puts you in action. That’s exactly what this book does. It gives you a step-by-step guide and a blueprint to put your life to meaning, use, and action. It’s short, concise, and to the point. All you need to do now is Act. This book is 100% bullshit-free. I’m not a guru or a preacher. I’m an entrepreneur. I am not going to twist your thoughts with religious or spiritual buzzwords, trying to make you feel something which probably doesn’t exist. Instead, I have focused on documenting the exact process that got me where I am: I run 3 businesses in parallel while traveling the world full-time. I’ve been running these successful businesses since the past 10 years and traveling full time since the last 3 years. I’ve lived in 25 countries and explored many cultures and lives, with experiences that have shaped and grown me. I wrote a 230-page book and then applied my own concepts to reduce all the BS from it. What was left is the next 23 pages you’re going to read in this book. Every book has only 10% pages with all 90% of the value. This book has only those 10% pages. If you apply the "5 steps to design your ideal life" from this book, it will be the last productivity book you’ll ever need.
