You don't have to be a designer to design your life. But it doesn't hurt to have some professional help. It took designer Vince Frost more than 25 years as a professional to appreciate the power of the design process as a means for improving his life. Or, more radically, bring others to recognise their own value. You have to do that yourself. But this book will inspire you to work better at living better.
Design Your Life is a series of irreverent and realistic snapshots about objects and how we interact with them. By leading design thinker Ellen Lupton and her twin sister Julia Lupton, it shows how design is about much more than what's bought at high-end stores or the modern look at IKEA.
Design is critical thinking: a way to look at the world and wonder why things work, and why they don't. Illustrated with original paintings of objects both ordinary and odd, Design Your Life casts a sharp eye on everything from roller bags, bras, toilet paper, and stuffed animals to parenting, piles, porches, and potted plants. Using humor and insight Ellen and Julia explore the practical side of everyday design, looking at how it impacts your life in unexpected ways and what you can do about it.
Speaking to the popular interest in design as well as people's desire to make their own way through a mass-produced world, this thoughtful book takes a fresh and humorous approach to make some serious points about the impact of design on our lives. Find out what's wrong with the bras, pillows, potted plants, and the other hopeless stuff you use, buy, clean, water, or put away everyday.
Discover how to secretly control the actions of those around you by choosing and placing objects carefully. Find out how roller bags are threatening civilization, and how the layout of your own house might be making you miserable.
Use the tools of self-publishing to take the power of branding into your own hands. Taking a fresh, funny look at parenthood, housekeeping, entertaining, time management, crafting, and more, Design Your Life shows you how to evaluate the things you use, and how to recognize forms of order that secretly inhabit the messes of daily life, be it a cluttered room or a busy schedule.
Use this book to gain control over your environment and tap into the power of design to communicate with friends, family, and the world. An engineer applies her skills to the quest for happiness—in this inspiring guide with a foreword by Dr. If we can architect and engineer complex, intelligent billion dollar computer systems, why can't we apply the same architectural framework for designing and building extraordinary lives?

Most people think of it from an engineering point of view and imagine it involves the creation of new products, technology, and services. What they never imagine is that design can be used to create new lives. This is the crooked belief that the book sets out to straighten through its explanation of design and the way it can be used to remodel and reframe life and people's views of it.
The correlation between designers and their love for problems is examined in another section, with the book attributing the creation of most, if not everything, people use today to designers' ideas of using problems to get day-to-day solutions.
Designers are always looking for questions so that they can find answers to their design ideas. Readers learn the concept of reframing and how every common question gets reframed in life design so as to find new and more helpful answers for it.
The reframing process is further explained as taking new information about a problem, choosing a new point of view and prototyping it afresh to find new solutions. It is through this process that most design ideas are born. Following their step-by-step approach, the authors continue to introduce the main topic of the book, the Life Design process.
They show how it can be used to better the life one's already living or create another one based on mere possibilities. They also explain its reliance on asking questions, researching, and team work. The book also introduces a different type of thinking: thinking like a designer.
Before deciding to use the Life Design process, the book provides readers with the five mindsets they are supposed to have and shows how they are best applied. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. By reading this summary, you will learn how to adopt the mentality and techniques of designers to improve your life, especially in the professional field. You will also learn : how to effectively find solutions to all your problems; to free yourself from blocking situations; to become very creative; how to search effectively for a job; how to become immune to failure; to make better decisions.
Too many people suffer from unsatisfying personal or professional situations. The designer's mentality is an effective solution to find more fulfilling paths because it is totally adapted to problem solving.
Using it to "design one's life" in the same way one creates an object, is not as absurd as it seems, because the techniques used to solve difficulties are the same: being curious, experimenting, reformulating, becoming aware of potential, collaborating with others.
The aim of design is to respond in the best possible way to a need. Why not use it to make one's life the best it can be? Everybody needs more happiness, everybody needs more design.
