This is THE handbook for life. I wanted to put together all the useful information about finding meaning and designing a productive and useful life from what I’ve seen, read, and experienced. And this is it… This is the last book you’ll need to design or redesign your life and put it in the right place and direction for movement, progress, and success. This is not just a book. This is a blueprint. It’s not enough to get information or to get informed. It’s important to get a tool which puts you in action. That’s exactly what this book does. It gives you a step-by-step guide and a blueprint to put your life to meaning, use, and action. It’s short, concise, and to the point. All you need to do now is Act. This book is 100% bullshit-free. I’m not a guru or a preacher. I’m an entrepreneur. I am not going to twist your thoughts with religious or spiritual buzzwords, trying to make you feel something which probably doesn’t exist. Instead, I have focused on documenting the exact process that got me where I am: I run 3 businesses in parallel while traveling the world full-time. I’ve been running these successful businesses since the past 10 years and traveling full time since the last 3 years. I’ve lived in 25 countries and explored many cultures and lives, with experiences that have shaped and grown me. I wrote a 230-page book and then applied my own concepts to reduce all the BS from it. What was left is the next 23 pages you’re going to read in this book. Every book has only 10% pages with all 90% of the value. This book has only those 10% pages. If you apply the "5 steps to design your ideal life" from this book, it will be the last productivity book you’ll ever need.

From the authors of the #1 New York Times bestseller Designing Your Life comes a revised, fully up-to-date edition of Designing Your New Work Life, a timely, urgently needed book that shows us how to transform our new uncharted work life into a meaningful dream job or company. With practical, useful tools, tips, and design ideas that show us how to navigate disruption (global, regional, or personal) and create new possibilities for our post-COVID work world and beyond. Bill Burnett and Dave Evans successfully taught graduate and undergraduate students at Stanford University and readers of their best-selling book, Designing Your Life ("The prototype for a happy life." —Brian Lehrer, NPR), that designers don't analyze, worry, think, complain their way forward; they build their way forward. And now more than ever, we all need creative and adaptable tools to cope with the chaos caused by COVID-19. In Designing Your New Work Life, Burnett and Evans show us how design thinking can transform our present job, and how it can improve our experience of work in times of disruption. All disruption is personal, write Burnett and Evans, as with the life-altering global pandemic we are living through now. Designing Your New Work Life makes clear that disruption is the new normal, that it is here to stay and that it is accelerating. And in the book's new chapters, Burnett and Evans show us step by step, how to design our way through disruption and how to stay ahead of it—and thrive. Burnett and Evans's Disruption Design offers us a radical new concept that makes use of the designer mindsets: Curiosity, Reframing, Radical collaboration, Awareness, Bias to action, Storytelling, to find our way through these unchartered times. In Designing Your New Work Life, Burnett and Evans show us, with tools, tips, and design ideas, how we can make new possibilities available even when our lives have been disrupted (be it globally, regionally, or personally), giving us the tools to enjoy the present moment and allowing us to begin to prototype our possible future.

This book is a report of the findings of many years of research and experimentation from various communities worldwide working with natural, drug detox methods. From October 2014 through April 2016, the members of the Facebook group 'Welcome to Heantos' conducted a public, nonclinical trial in which organic detox products from around the world were tested on addicts. Participants were detoxing from a range of substances such as heroin, prescription pain medication, prescription anxiety medication, methadone, suboxone, methamphetamines, amphetamines, cocaine, crack, alcohol, and nicotine. Social media created a communication platform for people across the globe to share information and experiences, the good and the bad. This book is an accumulation of the findings from the experimentation, designed to be a guide for learning how to detox yourself or someone else naturally. There are a range of products and methods used, so it is important to read the entire book before designing your detox. This book is meant to be a resource for which you can plan and execute your detox, doing it as quickly or as slowly as you need to meet your specific needs. These methods are discreet, manageable, affordable, and designed to meet the needs of a modern-day addict. They can be used short- or long-term and can also be used for preventing and coping with relapse and cravings. In this book, I will be sharing the successful components of this eighteen-month nonclinical trial where more than seventy-five people detoxed themselves naturally, most with severe, long-term addictions. I will walk you through the process of preparation, detox, and designing an aftercare plan. My hope for this book is to help lead people out of the darkness of addiction and into the light of reconnecting with the world around them.
