Episode notes

Chronic stress can dysregulate our physiologic systems, how it can impact our mental health. We know that there's a connection between the mind and the body. As soon as you decide you want to live a purposeful life, your stress goes way up,. Because now you have to answer a whole bunch of questions. If you go down my path, you know, be careful if you look into the abyss, the abyss looks back.

“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.
