Looking for a new job or career direction? Designing Your Life Can Help Provide Guidance

Finding a first job or a job in a new career is difficult when you do not already have access to the hidden job network that others are using to find all the best jobs. If you or a loved one are in this bad situation, Designing Your Life: How to Build a Joyful, Well-lived Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans can help by providing some direction.

In Designing Your Life, the authors show how new graduates and people who would like to change careers or jobs often find themselves stuck because of the false beliefs they hold. By modifying their beliefs to beliefs that help them to see their situation differently and by generating new ideas, these people can get unstuck and move forward into a life that is better designed for them.

The authors show people how to find work that both energizes and engages them. With new ideas about the types of work that might be a good fit, the authors show how to move forward with these new ideas and test them in the real world to see if they will work for them by designing small experiments or prototypes to test out the new ideas.

Additionally, those who are savvy will learn how to access the hidden job network and find a new job in an area they find interesting.

As the authors acknowledge, life design is a life-long process and this book provides the techniques and tools anyone can use to design a good life.  The first link is for the book by Burnett and Evans. the second link is a book summary written by Money Book Millionaire.  We may receive a small commission if you make a purchase using this link.
