Book Review

“Designing Your Work Life”

By Bill Burnett & Dave Evans

If you are unhappy at work AND ready to do something about it, read Designing Your Work Life, by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans. Whether or not you are familiar with their best-selling first book, Designing Your Life, you will find plenty of tangible strategies in this book to help you create a meaningful working life.

Written in an entertaining, easy-to-read style, they authors explain psychological principles of change and show readers how to “think like a designer” and make changes in their working lives. The book is packed with personal stories and exercises readers can use to apply the ideas to their own lives.

One prominent message of this book is that workers do not need to stay stuck in jobs they hate. While sometimes looking for a new job is the answer, it is not the only answer. Burnett and Evans encourage readers to consider how they might change the way they are thinking about their work situations and identify other paths - besides quitting - to create a more positive work environment.

Designing Your Work Life is a beacon of hope for weary workers who are tired of being unhappy at work and are ready to take action and make changes in their working lives.
