How to Live a Meaningful Life
Using Design Thinking to Unlock Purpose, Joy, and Flow Every Day
Book • 2025
In 'How to Live a Meaningful Life', Bill Burnett and Dave Evans build on their revolutionary life design framework to address the profound challenge of creating a life rich with meaning and purpose.
Drawing on the latest research, the book identifies four key areas where meaning can be reliably found: wonder, coherency, flow, and community.
It introduces five essential design mindsets, including radical acceptance and creating your world, and offers practical exercises and tools to help readers design a life that feels fully alive rather than merely fulfilled.
The authors emphasize shifting focus from the elusive goal of fulfillment to embracing a life of meaning, accessible to everyone regardless of life stage.
