Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money - the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction - at work, at school, and at home - is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world.

After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do.

Ryan Babineaux and John Krumboltz have come to a compelling conclusion: happy and successful people tend to spend less time planning and more time acting. They get out into the world, try new things, and make mistakes, and in doing so, they benefit from unexpected experiences and opportunities.

If everyone wants to live a happy and successful life, why do so few achieve it? This simple question launched a multi-year, multi-million dollar research project searching for the commonalities of happy and successful people. After thousands of hours of research, 400 interviews, and the deconstruction of over 100 books, the results are astounding. So what do happy and successful people have in common? Well, it's not whether they grew up in a loving home or a broken home, or whether they were rich or poor....

Publisher's summary
Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans is a self-help guide for people seeking to improve their lives and careers by thinking like designers. The book aims to spread the lessons taught in the authors' Designing Your Life course at Stanford University, which helps students design their postgraduate lives.
Designers see the world differently than most people. Where others will avoid or fear problems, designers seek them out. Where others will perceive failure and give up on a task, designers will prototype solutions and test them until they find the best possible course of action. By applying a designer's unique way of approaching problems to aspects of their lives, people can attain more lasting happiness and fulfillment.
Please note: This is a summary, analysis and review of the book and not the original book.

Careers are not linear, predictable ladders any longer; they are fluid trajectories. No matter our age, life stage, bank account balance, or seniority, we are all being asked to navigate career changes much more frequently than in years past. The average employee tenure in America is just four to five years, and even those roles change dramatically within that time. Our economy now demands that we create businesses and careers based on creativity, growth, and impact. In this dynamic world of work, the only move that matters is your next one.

Careers are not linear, predictable ladders any longer; they are fluid trajectories. No matter our age, life stage, bank account balance, or seniority, we are all being asked to navigate career changes much more frequently than in years past. The average employee tenure in America is just four to five years, and even those roles change dramatically within that time. Our economy now demands that we create businesses and careers based on creativity, growth, and impact. In this dynamic world of work, the only move that matters is your next one.
