How to Live a Meaningful Life

The #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Designing Your Life return with a groundbreaking guide to transforming your daily routine into one brimming with joy, purpose, and meaning.

In a world grappling with major societal shifts and increasing isolation, it's easy to feel like nothing you do matters. Even when we're at the top of our game in our careers and have reached the personal milestones we've always dreamed about, so many of us still feel like something is missing, disconnected, and stuck. There must be more to life than simply surviving each day-but how do we uncover it?

Bestselling authors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, the "empowering" (Publishers Weekly) visionaries behind Stanford's renowned Life Design Lab, have already inspired millions of readers to use design thinking principles to craft lives and careers they love. Now, in How to Live a Meaningful Life, they take on the most profound design problem of all: how to make a life rich with meaning and purpose. Evolving their revolutionary framework, Burnett and Evans present the latest research on what makes life worth living, showing us how to bring wonder, coherence, flow, and community into our everyday experiences. Instead of cramming more into an already packed life, they give us the steps we need to extract more out of it, moment by moment.

Through actionable insights and with Burnett and Evans's signature compassion and warmth, How to Live a Meaningful Life equips you with the tools to turn your ordinary days into an extraordinary life today.
