Book Title: Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life

Author: Bill Burnett and Dave Evans

Selection Statement:

This book was recommended to me by someone about whom I care deeply at a time when I was considering whether to explore new avenues in my career journey. It was pivotal in helping me frame what I had been doing and what I wanted to do in a meaningful way. The analytical approach to designing what your life can be really resonated for me. I return to it every so often to reassess and refocus for the future and think deeply about how to align my work view with my life view.
