Audiobook Summary Review

Short of having a killer body and being world famous, there is a tested and straightforward solution to every challenge you have, and Burnett and Evans have been teaching the secret to Stanford wonks for years.

Design thinking has helped hundreds of their students resolve some of their most pressing problems and dilemmas, and it can do the same for you, too. The duo reminds you - with the clarity and assurance that's only the reserve of seasoned instructors - that it's okay if you are 60 and haven't figured out your life yet, because everyone has multiple life versions to figure out.
