Designing Your Life: Build a Life that Works for You by Bill Burnett, Dave Evans
4.0
Really easy to digest, but lots to process. Going to be making a couple of photocopies of the first couple chapters for reference. And, I wrote about a 20 page philosophic manifesto about my workview and lifeview which may add some clarity to my underlying existential crisis (or - just scare off people around me with my patented intensity).
I did find some of this helpful in organizing and sorting out my general ennui right now, though last half really focused on career as part of "happiness", which I was a bit disappointed by. I'm looking for clarity in a holistic sense, not just in how my work-life can support happiness (to be fair, this is a major component of my malaise but isn't what I have identified on my dashboard as being the most critical area of improvement).
10+ years ago I drafted my first life plan, but that was under a fiscal framework. Now as I revisit it, I want to take a philosophical approach. I do think that this book's exercises will help in sifting through those larger questions, but it's not explicitly stated in the text here.
