Designing Your New Work Life: How to Thrive and Change and Find Happiness —and a New Freedom— at Work

We spend years of our lives at work, and we want that time to be filled with comfort and our activities to bear good fruit. If we don't see meaning in what we do every day, we work late and procrastinate. Soon meaningless work begins to take a toll on our careers, psychological well-being, and even our health. Is it possible to overcome boredom and enjoy the workday? Stanford University professors and authors of the bestseller "Design Your Life" Bill Burnett and Dave Evans believe that this can be achieved through design thinking. They tell you how to design a happy work life by rethinking negative beliefs--that no one wants your job and that management doesn't appreciate you, for example. In its pages, you'll find practical advice to help you take control of what you're missing in life right now, prevent conflict, discover new opportunities, and learn how to enjoy each workday.
