"Che cosa voglio fare della mia vita?", "Chi voglio diventare?", "Come posso trovare il coraggio di lasciare un lavoro che non mi dà più soddisfazioni e costruirmi un nuovo percorso?". Quanti di noi si sono trovati almeno una volta a porsi queste domande? In mezzo alle infinite possibilità del mondo in cui viviamo, la maggior parte di noi si sente disorientata e incapace di capire che cosa desideri davvero. Utilizzando la loro esperienza come innovatori della Silicon Valley e come docenti di uno dei corsi più frequentati a Stanford, Designing Your Life, che insegna agli studenti come progettare la loro vita futura, gli autori di questo libro hanno elaborato un metodo e una "cassetta degli attrezzi" per imparare ad analizzare la nostra vita con uno sguardo nuovo e individuare le innumerevoli opportunità che ci vengono offerte. Prendendo ispirazione dalla capacità di creare e sperimentare che da sempre guida designer e innovatori - "prova, riformula, riprova" - i due autori ci mostrano come vincere le paure e i luoghi comuni che ci immobilizzano e costruire un'esistenza in cui poterci sentire realizzati. Un approccio agile e versatile, estremamente efficace perché applicabile a molteplici contesti, indipendentemente dall'età o dalla situazione specifica in cui ci troviamo. Perché, con il giusto approccio, tutti possiamo dare alla nostra vita la forma giusta per noi. Prefazione di Francesca Parviero.

Burnett and Evans believe that in order to change, people need a process-- a design process-- to help them figure out what they want and how to create it. Rather than dreaming up a lot of fun fantasies that have no relationship to the real world-- or the real you-- they show us how to build a future brick by brick, how to approach our own life design challenges with curiosity and creativity. They give us the tools and show us certain simple "mind-sets," and how to use them to practice life design in your life.
