#1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • At last, a book that shows you how to build—design—a life you can thrive in, at any age or stage • “Life has questions. They have answers.” —The New York Times Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking. Look around your office or home—at the tablet or smartphone you may be holding or the chair you are sitting in. Everything in our lives was designed by someone. 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. The same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.

There are many things that hinder us from accomplishing our dreams. However, the one that we all have in common is ourselves. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to just start. For instance, if your vision is to run a marathon and you ignore the alarm in the morning and never begin to run to train your body and develop the habit, you will never be able to succeed. There is one person who can help you let go of yourself, your past, and give you the strength and courage to move ahead and reach for the finish line—God. Let go of yourself and decide to listen. Listen to the little voice that tugs at your heart or echoes in your head as you do simple everyday tasks. A true change to self can only be achieved by a commitment to listen to his plan for your life. The dreams and vision that you have will grow, and you will begin your journey—or your dreams will take a new twist in accordance with his plan. My Plan, His Plan . . . Listen.

The acclaimed author of Ignore Everybody is back with more irreverent wisdom, wit, and original cartoons. "It has never been easier to make a great living doing what you love. But to make it happen, first you need an EVIL PLAN. Everybody needs to get away from lousy bosses, from boring, dead-end jobs that they hate, and ACTUALLY start doing something they love, something that matters. Life is short." -Hugh MacLeod Freud once said that in order to be truly happy people need two things: the capacity to work and the capacity to love. Evil Plans is about being able to do both at the same time. The sometimes unfortunate side effect is that others will hate you for it. MacLeod's insights are brash, wise, and often funny.
