yay - I love hearing that you found it easy to write about the partnership! Energising :)

How can I get one ?

Stop using italic fingers…especially for dinner …???

Hola Gabriela, felicidades por ser certificada! . Yo tengo el libro y el workbook que compre hace años, lo estoy retomando y tengo una duda . Primero debes leer todo el libro y después comenzar con el workbook? O recomiendas ir escribiendo el workbook a la par que vas leyendo?? Saludos

What do I do if I have a lot of good ideas but also have adhd and get side tracked with another new idea while I’m TRYING to follow through with the first one? I never finish anything so i now have bins full of paper with “questions” and thoughts, things that I’d like to pursue and understand but never got around too? What type of job could use/would hire someone with endless ideas and a different way of seeing the world?

I have a question about the DYL workshop. Is there an email I can use, as I'm not in the FB groups? Thanks!

Have you ever considered doing an edition for people who don't have rich dads?

Thank you so much for taking the time to create these videos. They've made me feel much more in control during such an uncertain and perceivably uncontrollable time. It's a breath of fresh air to have videos like these in the midst of all the negativity and sorrow being spread.

Bill and Dave, it's great to hear from you during this uncertain time! This video is a great refresh on the design principles and how they can be applied and leveraged to our advantage in this time of self- distancing. I especially liked where you talked about setting the bar low and having more access to people now more than ever before.

I really agree with you Bill on having a schedule. Mark Manson (Blogger) wrote a marvellous article on having what he calls the "quaROUTINE". He considers keeping to your set times the most important igredient for the well-being right now.

Thanks, DYL Guys, for applying your thing to life during Covid and sharing in videos! Generative acceptance is useful to me already. Love the difference I feel when you dropped "all things considered", Dave. I appreciate the structure you are putting in place, Bill. Thanks for solid examples. And keeping it brief. I'm in!

Can't wait to receive it and use it at the Coach Training at the end of May!

Thanks - is there a drop date for the audiobook?

lovely stuff

I didn't even think twice to pre-order. I LOVED Designing Your Life. I'm very excited to read it.

Ohhh! Can't wait to read it!

I used the original book for a high school senior elective class in fall 2018. Tremendous class. Perhaps the next project will be Designing Your School Life written for 8th and 9th graders, giving them time to execute a five-year plan for high school and after? Check out what Barbara Oakley did to target her Learning How to Learn book to teenagers. The earlier people start designing, the more time to enjoy the benefits.

I started reading the core book a couple of years ago but stalled trying to comprehend all of the pieces. I also did not have the workbook. I assume reading the book without having and using the workbook is not the best approach.

What do you mean by a Design Team, I am confused.

It would be amazing if you could come to (Melbourne) Australia in 2019 to run your workshop!!

I read the book, didn't think the examples were that telling, but this sounds like a life coach, in which people who can't get their own lives together think they can help get your life together.

this workbook just elevated the content of the book and challenged me to think at a deeper level! Thank you for not letting my mind find a stagnant state with my career development! #DYLDiary

The DYL book has been really useful when working with creative arts students.

The DYL book has been so incredibly helpful for me that I've started calling myself a "DYL Evangelist." I've personally bought the book for 3 friends, and recommended it to countless others, as well as taking a training at my campus. For me, the most valuable components were the energy meter and the Good Time Journal. Although it sounds simple, I'd never before tracked my energy and feelings in such detail, and it helped me realize that aspects of my current career track in academia were far more draining than inspiring. The book has helped me and others achieve 'actionable insights'--thank you!

Cool! Where is the discussion group you mention? I could not find info on it after poking around the website for a while.

Thank you for the workbook, it's for sure a big addition to the DYL book. The workbook will help us to provide to our students -youth- at our school all the set of tools that can guide them in practical way implement the concepts of DYL. Thank you!

I recently discovered DYL and have been reading up on it, watching the various videos and going through the creativelive class right now. its been amazing so far and a real paradigm shift to how I now view my life. the #DYLDiary looks really useful and I'd love to use one but there is currently none available right now where I live :(

Some of those people who attended the DYL workshop I hosted were asking about a workbook - and an ongoing DYL group--and you've just answered those questions! Excellent and Thank you.

The book has freed me to be confident in making decisions based not off of what is considered "practical" to others, but according to what energizes me and gets me excited to take the next step. #DYLDiary

The DYL book helped me to organize my thoughts and think more strategically about my self and my future. I read this book while making a drastic career change, and now that I have a new job, getting my hands on the #DYLDiary means that I could fill out the pages from a new perspective, refreshing that "you are here" mentality!

I've enjoyed using the exercises in the DYL book with our college students because it gives them the necessary space that they need to slow down and do the hard work of self-reflection. More importantly, it also gets them to think outside the proverbial box that they have been bound to and think of different creative ways to imagine moving forward. Getting current college students excited about moving towards small, manageable actions can be more rewarding than they thought possible. The book is a keeper, and so excited that there is now a Workbook to work off of!!

As a college professional working in Career Development, I've found the book to offer a creative approach to debunking many career myths. By being so action-oriented, it allows students to be able to take tangible action steps without locking themselves in to a narrow career path. I am very interested in learning more about how we can further integrate these concepts into our services. I'd love to be able to check out the diary and think it's a great way to keep ideas all in one place. #DYLDiary

The book has impacted my thinking by changing the way I think about networking. I think, by seeing networking with other people as both an opportunity to let them shine and to learn from someone who is further along in their career, it has made the whole concept a lot more exciting (and less scary). :)

Thanks for the new workbook. The book has helped me move away from getting stuck on finding my passion and instead move incrementally toward a career choice that is designed through iterative moves and learning along the way. Chhers!
