Review "This graphic workbook . . .encourages a playful approach to designing your own life from the ground up.

Design the Life You Love would be the perfect gift for anyone in a rut, at a crossroads or about to embark on a new career path." – ShelfAwareness"The book would benefit people wanting or needing to change their lives, from high achievers wondering what's next to people just starting their careers." – The Portland Oregonian "I am beginning to realize that there is an opportunity to apply the metaphysical to certain design tactics. The designer Ayse Birsel proposes just that in her book . . . .A final extension of human-centric design, this application of design-to-life is analogous to the fusion of art and life." – Philip Wood, California Home + Design"If you’re like me and you really want to change, try her process. It will help you become the person you want to be and design a life you will love!" – Marshall Goldsmith, New York Times best selling author of TriggersAdvance praise for Design the Life You Love: “Ayse Birsel is a designer who knows how to find elegant solutions for complex issues not only with products, but also with everybody’s search for serenity, inspiration, and fulfillment in life.” – Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture & design, Museum of Modern Art “I know it’s easy to live a pessimistic life, grinding it out and waiting for someone to give you orders. But just because it’s easy doesn’t mean you should do it that way. Ayse Birsel has a better idea.” – Seth Godin, author of What to Do When it’s Your Turn “Ayse Birsel has a unique gift for making the complex simple and the simple beautiful. This book will help you to a better life and unleash your hidden creative talent.” – Brian Walker, President and CEO of Herman Miller “Ayse Birsel has designed furniture, office systems, cookware and even a toilet seat. Taking what she’s learned from product design, she has developed a fun, playful approach to designing a life you love. Who else but a designer could give you the tools you need to examine your life and make it the best it can be?” – John Edelman, CEO, Design Within Reach “If you want to stoke someone’s imagination, give them a picture book. If you want to feed their intellect, give them a book of literature. But if you want to fuel their future, give them this book. Design the Life You Love is an invitation to prioritize what’s important in your life—to literally put it down on paper through four simple but ingenious steps—and emerge with a kind of personal mission statement that will give you clarity, power, and purpose.” – Allan Chochinov, chair of the MFA Products of Design program at the School of Visual Arts “Ayse Birsel has delivered the ideal self-help workbook for our harried age—one that is playful, smart, pragmatic, and contagiously optimistic.
