  • Dave Evans is the designer of the Apple mouse, co-founder of Electronic Arts, co-developer of Stanford’s most popular class and, now, the co-author of the book based on it: DESIGNING YOUR LIFE: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life (Knopf).
    What do you want to do with the rest of your life? Whether you’re fifteen or fifty, this is the question most of us agonize, worry, and speculate about, often leaving us stuck. Tried and tested over nearly a decade in Stanford’s Design program and the subject of two studies proving the efficacy of its approach, DESIGNING YOUR LIFE provides readers with a step-by-step process for figuring out “what they want, who they want to grow into, and how to create a life they love.” Dave Evans visits the Seattle office to talk about the practical applications of the design mindset, the common fallacies of self-improvement, and even some tricks to set yourself on a course to a more enjoyable life immediately.

    Glad this popped up in my recommendations. Found it really insightful and useful - especially the ‘multiple future selfs’ outlook, which I will definitely utilise. I actually initially thought this was a recent talk (lack of masks should have been a giveaway) and I only realised towards the end that it was five years old. It suddenly hit me - in an existential, bittersweet but curious sort of way - that all of those eager listeners in the crowd are now at the end of the ‘next five years’ they were undoubtedly pondering that day. I wonder how they all got on. Either way, I hope they’re happy and content.

  • @GaryFerrao
    @GaryFerrao Год назад +1

    This is a great talk!~ Dave focusses on the point that designing life is a "wicked problem" because we don't know what the desired outcome actually is or even if we want it (for example, the famous misquote of Henry Ford:"if i asked people they would say that they want faster horses"); and the concept of thinking about what we would actually want if we could have multiple/parallel lifetimes.

    Solid content, good speed, just needs to slow down for key points, as fo not to miss any (e.g. the five steps of the process)
    Overall, solid talk.

I don't agree with all of these concepts and believe it works better for some data finding personality types but not all people. Same goes for learning styles.

Like he's drunk. Anyone can tell me which branch of supposed design he was referring to exactly? like I said not design thinking he mentioned another term that is not understandable even after slowing the speed down.

    know your audience. Analogies need to be something Google employees can relate to. Lost audience with examples of people in their late 40's and 50's. Examples should have come more from MBA students in their late 20's and 30's. I find "Designing Your Life" concepts very helpful, however if I had been introduced through this presentation I would think it nothing of it, or worse - useless.
