An Academic's Life

18. What's Your Workview and Lifeview?


Listen Later

This week's episode draws from Bill Burnett and Dave Evans' Designing Your Life book. Burnett and Evans are design professors at Stanford University; their book has helped me get more clear about what I want from work and life, and I've assigned chapters (with positive feedback from students) in my undergraduate and graduate courses. In this episode, I read chapter 2, "Building a Compass," which is a reflection-based chapter in the book about one's workview and lifeview. Pull up a chair, grab a notebook, and get ready to write (or just mull over ideas). I sprinkle in my own thoughts and feelings as I read the chapter again. 

I would love to hear your topical requests, so feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
