Stanford University professors Burnett and Evans (Designing Your Life, 2016) team up again to advise readers interested in developing and redesigning strategies for career development. Using vignettes and scenarios to illustrate their points, Burnett and Evans share useful guidance on reframing one's perspective and challenges in the workplace. In addition to this reframing technique, they highlight the importance of storytelling, awareness, and design thinking in their tips. Whether readers are thinking about going to graduate school or quitting a job, Burnett and Evans offer thoughtful questions to consider, including opportunity costs and potential outcomes. Throughout the book, there are worksheets and charts to help readers reflect on and navigate their own design-thinking processes. Burnett and Evans address important matters including strength finders, growth mindsets, and the dynamics of power and politics in the workplace. This highly readable book could also be consulted as a guide. Readers interested in self-improvement in the workplace, motivational business management and practices, and organizational psychology will find this helpful, clearly written, and relevant.--Raymond Pun Copyright 2020 Booklist
