Designing Your Work Life: How to Thrive and Change and Find Happiness at Work
By Bill Burnett & Dave Evans
Overview
Designing Your Work Life offers practical strategies to help individuals create meaningful, satisfying, and flexible work experiences—regardless of their role, workplace, or stage of career. Building on the design-thinking concepts popularized in their bestseller Designing Your Life, Burnett and Evans show how to apply a designer’s mindset to professional challenges in order to thrive at work and adapt to change12.
Core Principles
Design Thinking in Work:
Apply the designer's toolset—curiosity, reframing, radical collaboration, awareness, bias to action, and storytelling—to address work-related obstacles and pursue greater satisfaction and growth1.
Reframing Dysfunctional Beliefs:
Challenge negative assumptions (e.g., "I’m stuck in a lousy situation") by actively seeking both the problems and solutions. The book emphasizes moving away from passive complaint and toward constructive redesign1.
Prototype Your Work Life:
Rather than waiting for a perfect job, use small experiments and prototypes to explore new directions and improve your existing situation bit by bit.
Key Strategies & Mindsets
| Mindset | Application |
|---|---|
| Curiosity | Explore new aspects of your current work and career possibilities |
| Reframing | Shift from "why can’t I?" to "how might I?" |
| Radical Collaboration | Involve colleagues and mentors; seek input from diverse perspectives |
| Bias to Action | Don’t get stuck analyzing—take small, testable steps forward |
| Storytelling | Reflect and communicate your growth through your personal narrative |
Practical Tools and Tips
“Good Enough” is Great:
Learn to recognize and appreciate when things are “good enough, for now,” which frees you from perfectionism and opens new opportunities for change and happiness1.
Living Prototyping:
Experiment with new roles, side projects, or adjustments in how you approach daily work. These “prototypes” help you test what works before committing to major changes.
Using Your Current Job as a Springboard:
Discover how to leverage your present position to learn new skills and prepare for future opportunities—even if you plan to leave eventually. The book also guides how to exit gracefully, making the transition positive for you and your colleagues1.
Navigating Change
Adaptability:
Embrace ongoing disruption in work and life. The book details ways to stay nimble and creative amidst challenges like automation, restructuring, and unexpected setbacks by returning to a design-thinking approach2.
Resilience Through Redesign:
Seeing obstacles as design problems encourages resilience and helps prevent stagnation.
Who Should Read This Book?
Professionals at any career stage facing challenges or seeking greater satisfaction at work
Individuals contemplating a job change, career pivot, or immediate improvements in their current role
Anyone interested in applying creative, hands-on strategies to life and work
In Summary
Designing Your Work Life is a flexible guide for anyone feeling stuck, uninspired, or simply eager to take control of their career path. Bill Burnett and Dave Evans provide a toolkit for thriving in the modern workplace, fostering happiness, and embracing change—by breaking problems into manageable experiments and continually designing your future at work12.
