Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to - and approach for - overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy”.

What do you want to be when you grow up? It's a familiar question we're all asked as kids. While seemingly harmless, the question has unintended consequences. It can make you feel like you need to choose one job, one passion, one thing to be about. Guess what? You don't. Having a lot of different interests, projects and curiosities doesn't make you a "jack-of-all-trades, master of none". Your endless curiosity doesn't mean you are broken or flaky.

What do you do when you're faced with a big decision? If you're like most people, you probably make a pro and con list, spend a lot of time obsessing about decisions that didn't work out, get caught in analysis paralysis, endlessly seek other people's opinions to find just that little bit of extra information that might make you sure, and finally go with your gut.

Look at your life in a whole new perspective
I read so many self-help books but this one is different, so different that I wouldn't even call it self help. The authors help you reflect on your life from a logical design perspective, rather than looking to spirituality and philosophy to design your life, this book teaches you that you don't have one life but many infinite lives you can choose.
Highly recommend to absolutely everyone!

If only I had heard this at half my age!
Simply the most intelligent and fascinating Audio Book. Bill & Dave would appeal to such a wide audience with their step by step approach to help us in answering some of lifes 'very tricky questions'. I am listening to this for the third time in two weeks as I easily pick something else up each time. Design wisdom that I truly needed and have already began to put into play. THANKYOU for extending this outside of the realms of University lecture and enabling this to be part of Audible's fabulous offerings.

Stimulating, inspiring and highly digestible.
Would you consider the audio edition of Designing Your Life to be better than the print version?
I have only listened to the audio version and will be using the print version as an ongoing resource.
What other book might you compare Designing Your Life to, and why?
Designing Your Life inspired me this year the way A Beautiful Constraint inspired me in 2016. Both strongly academically based, yet highly pragmatically pitched; multiple case studies added credibility throughout, and the product of mature collaboration.
Which character – as performed by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans – was your favourite?
Bill and Dave offer complementary styles and as we worked through the book I started getting excited as I approached each new Chapter, presented alternately by the authors, in anticipation of reconnecting with my increasingly familiar author/friends. Dave's sense of humour colours every sentence without compromising the gravitas of the content. Bill's slightly more monotonic and steady delivery adds a sense of thoughtful seriousness to the mix. Despite the swapping for each chapter, continuity is maintained faultlessly and the sense of collaboration is constant.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The emotional reaction was not one of sadness or ecstasy as in a "laugh or cry" response, Moreso one of exhilaration and enthusiasm about a newly discovered approach to career and life development.
