A lot of retirees find themselves suddenly dissatisfied, unaware until the moment of retiring of how much of their self-worth they’d put into their career. Hell, I’ve gone through those exact emotions in the past two years here in Berlin. But working on shifting your mindset into constantly designing your life will help squash those feelings. Summary Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life is a book by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans that aims to help readers organize themselves through journaling and design thinking.

I’m not a fan of non-fiction so I’m unsure of the audible or the Material itself is to blame 😑 Whatever the reason, I found finishing this book a true challenge. One I failed miserably at I might add. That’s right DNF. I have already recommended this book to 6 of my friends. Created a what's up group for 4 of my friends and we will embark on it together.What you want to do, what you should do, what you've always wanted to do, what you've always wondered to do, which to choose?
