They have answers.” —The New York Times Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking.

And every design starts with a problem that a designer or team of designers seeks to solve. In this book, Bill Burnett and Dave Evans show us how design thinking can help us create a life that is both meaningful and fulfilling, regardless of who or where we are, what we do or have done for a living, or how young or old we are.

Change the world one trip at a time. In this illuminating collection of stories and lessons from the road, acclaimed travel writer Rick Steves shares a powerful message that resonates now more than ever. With the world facing divisive and often frightening events, from Trump, Brexit, and Erdogan, to climate change, nativism, and populism, there's never been a more important time to travel. Rick believes the risks of travel are widely exaggerated, and that fear is for people who don't get out much. After years of living out of a suitcase, he still marvels at how different cultures find different truths to be self-evident. By sharing his experiences from Europe, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East, Rick shows how we can learn more about own country by viewing it from afar. With gripping stories from Rick's decades of exploration, this fully revised edition of Travel as a Political Act is an antidote to the current climate of xenophobia. When we travel thoughtfully, we bring back the most beautiful souvenir of all: a broader perspective on the world that we all call home. All royalties from the sale of Travel as a Political Act are donated to support the work of Bread for the World, a non-partisan organization working to end hunger at home and abroad.

"By all accounts your life is pretty good, but you keep thinking about that one special thing you've always wanted to do: go back to college, travel around the world, write a book, or run a marathon. Real life--family, work, and other commitments--has pushed your dream into the limbo we all know called Some Day. Some Day arrived for Warren & Betsy Talbot on September 1, 2008, after health scares in two people they love forced then to take notice of their lives. These kind of life events have a way of waking a sleeping soul up to the passage of time, and the Talbots decided right then to stop making excuses and go after their dream of world travel. After 2 years of focused effort, they were able to turn their dream into reality, one they are still living today."--Page 4 of cover.
