Episode notes

Bill and Dave are the co-authors of Designing Your Life, How to Build a Well-Live and Joyful Life. The book is based on their work at Stanford's life design lab. Bill: "We use principles of ethnography and anthropology" David: "It's using that same idea of how do you design in a human centered way?"

“What’s my passion?” “What do I want to do for the rest of my life?” These aren’t great questions because they’re fixed. They assume you’ll only have one job or one passion for the rest of your life. But, the reality is, both you and the world around you will change. You need a career decision-making tool that isn’t surprised by change but assumes it.

In this Forum from CalTech in 2017, you'll learn about this tool. Hear from two Stanford professors — Dave Evans and Bill Burnett — as they discuss their New York Times bestselling book, Designing Your Life. They share about design thinking — and how its flexibility can help you navigate your career for years to come.
