Designing your work life : how to thrive and change and find happiness at work

Burnett, William (Consulting professor of design) (author.). Evans, David J. (David John), 1953- (author.).

Summary: Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show readers how design thinking can transform our present job and our experience of work in general by utilizing the designer mindsets: Curiosity. Reframing. Radical collaboration. Awareness. Bias to action. Storytelling. They show us how, with tools, tips, and ideas, to enjoy what we have and to live in a state of "good enough, for now," one of the strongest, most effective reframes there is, and how this idea can make new possibilities available, giving us the energy to enjoy the present moment and allowing us to begin to prototype possible futures.
