Episode notes

Designing Your Life was written by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans of the Stanford Design School. The book is based off a course they taught at the design school about using design principles to apply to your life. It shares a similar notion of intentionality and design, but it's more career-focused than "Deep Work"

How do you leave a life of superficial distraction and cultivate something deeper? In today’s episode, Cal describes “The Deep Life Stack,” an approach to cultivating a deep life that starts with overhauling the person before making the big decisions.
