Designing your work life - Bill Burnett

Build a new work-life balance that suits you.


We will spend up to 120,000 hours at work in our lifetimes.


But how best to use those hours is one of our most challenging
questions.


We all want to find meaning at work, but our managers can't get it for us.
And as companies work to be more nimble and shift according to changing
markets, the workplace is increasingly unpredictable. It's up to each of us
to define and find our own happiness in this ever-moving landscape, which is
rich with opportunity and possibility.


Designing Your Work Life helps you understand the politics and psychology of work and
equips you with the 'design thinking' principles - the innovative methodology
pioneered at Stanford that has been fuelling the growth of Silicon Valley -
to build a working life that works for you. Designers don't analyse, worry,
think, complain their way forward; they build their way forward.


Perfect for anyone hoping to improve their current job, aiming for a
promotion or even switching career paths, as well as recent graduates
thinking about their future, Designing Your Work
Life is a deeply empowering read. Part business
book, part inspirational and innovative self-help, this book will help you
answer one of life's most challenging questions.
