"My purpose in life is to have as much fun as I can," he says. "I believe that God actually gave us sovereignty over our lives, including whether it's acknowledging or not acknowledging God." In his worldview, there is no such thing as ultimate purpose,. It comes out of existence, proceeds essence and we are forced to create our own framework for meaning. That is the freedom where that's the anxiety of freedom.

“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.
