a satisfying, meaningful life by approaching the challenge the way
a designer would. Experimentation. Wayfinding. Prototyping.
Constant iteration. You should read the book. Everyone else
will.”

“This [is] the career book of the next decade and . . . the go-to
book that is read as a rite of passage whenever someone is ready to
create a life they love.”

“An empowering book based on their popular class of the same name
at Stanford University . . . Perhaps the book’s most important
lesson is that the only failure is settling for a life that makes
one unhappy. With useful fact-finding exercises, an empathetic
tone, and sensible advice, this book will easily earn a place among
career-finding classics.”
—Publishers Weekly
