Key Takeaways

Designing Your Life is a New York Times Bestseller book and the most popular course from Stanford University!

Life in the 21st century is getting more complex and confusing than ever. While we are busy dealing with our everyday challenges, have we ever tried to have a deeper understanding of ourselves? The wisdom of mankind tells us about Ikigai, finding our purpose, and finding our peace of mind, but how do we get there?

Designing Your Life shows 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 life- a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.

No previous experience of Design Thinking is required. In this workshop, we are going to explore what building life forward is about, with both learning and unlearning.

Join our workshop to ...

• Understand yourself better

• Find out what motivates you and what your true needs are

• How to get unstuck when you are stuck in life
