A fan project, built for fun

The book's big idea is that you can approach your life the way a designer approaches a problem: get curious, try things, reframe what's stuck, and build your way forward one small prototype at a time, rather than waiting to find the one right answer.

This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the authors, Stanford University, or Designing Your Life. It uses the book's names for its exercises (the Odyssey Plans, the Good Time Journal, Workview and Lifeview, the Health/Work/Play/Love dashboard) so you can find your way back to the source. Everything here is written in our own words. If the method helps you, read the book: it's better than anything here.

Claude does the interviewing, the research and the first drafts. You do the deciding. Nothing here tells you how to live.
