Description

Read the life changing book Mel Robbins calls “a blueprint to find [meaning] where we are.”

From the #1 New York Times bestselling creators of Designing Your Life comes an actionable guide to finding real meaning in the life you already have.

Many of us have lives that look successful on paper but feel strangely empty. How to Live a Meaningful Life offers research-backed tools to help you build purpose, clarity, and connection without quitting your job, blowing up your life, or starting from scratch.

Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, the visionaries behind Stanford’s renowned Life Design Lab, have helped millions use design thinking to craft lives and careers they love. In this new book, they evolve their framework to focus on one question: What makes a life feel worth living, day to day?

Drawing on the latest science and years of teaching, they show you how to:
  • Reduce stress by aligning your time with what actually matters
  • Bring more wonder, coherence, and flow into your everyday routines
  • Turn ordinary moments into roots of joy and meaning
  • Strengthen relationships and build “formative” communities that support you

Instead of cramming more into an already overwhelming routine, Burnett and Evans show you how to get more out of the life you’re already living.

Perfect for readers of Jay Shetty and Brené Brown, How to Live a Meaningful Life offers a clear, hopeful path out of the noise and overload of modern life and into deeper engagement, connection, and purpose, because everyone deserves a meaningful life.
