Description

There is a course that every Stanford student must take before entering the workforce. It is *Designing Your Life*, widely regarded as the premier course at Stanford's D.School. Praised as a class that teaches "the most important things in life that you have never learned anywhere else," this course is a popular topic of conversation not only among students but also among high-earning professionals in Silicon Valley. This is because there is a clear difference in the attitude toward work between those who have taken the class and those who have not. What is the secret behind the success of those who fully immerse themselves in their work, enjoy it, grow continuously, and strike a balance between money, meaning, and self-actualization? The teachings of Bill Burnett and Dave Evans—two brilliant, eccentric professors who returned to school to cultivate talent after working as a product designer and management consultant at Apple—present a balanced philosophy on "work and life" and how to discover the "true value of work"—essential for working individuals but not taught in schools or workplaces—along with realistic yet refreshing stories filled with empathy and comfort. This book, which teaches how to find happiness at work and grow while maintaining a proper work-life balance, is a must-read for every working person—one you will want to turn to when experiencing burnout, facing a job change, or when work feels tedious. The minimum amount of time spent working in a lifetime is 80,000 hours. How long will you continue to live day by day merely enduring and holding on? If we are not happy during the ‘working hours’ in which we spend the most time of our lives, our lives can never be truly happy.

Infusing philosophy into one's work elevates a person's character.

To imbue philosophy into everything is the act of imbuing meaning into work.

When problems arise or difficulties are felt while working, it would be good to try finding a solution through 'reorganizing thoughts'.
