In fact,
Probably the life you're already in is full of more meaning-making, full of more aliveness, if you have the tricks, the wherewithal, and particularly the mindsets necessary to see it, to attend to it, and to get it from it.
So we really want to free people up.
We want people to be free to get what's already there.
Well, design thinking is, first of all, the relatively new, about 15 or 20-year-old nomenclature, the name we have for a process that was originally conceived at Stanford going back to 1963 called human-centered design, HCD.
We renamed it design thinking about 20 years ago.
It makes it a little more accessible, more accurate, really.
And all it is is a methodology—
to innovatively come up with ideas and solutions to problems that are not easily solved.
Problems where you don't know what you're looking for until you find it, and when you find it, it's so unique to the context and the persons involved, it's not replicatable, and it changes over time.
And so design thinking is an approach to, number one, understanding the problem you're working on and what you might try to do about it.
And then having ideas that turn into prototypes, experiments to learn your way forward and see what might actually work.
And then you can implement something that actually is feasible.
So what Bill and I did starting 20 years ago is we took those ideas about designing a future thing you've never done before into designing ourselves, not just designing products.
And that's turned out to be a pretty interesting conversation.
Yeah, we say problem finding precedes problem solving.
And one of the reasons many efforts fail is you're working on the wrong thing.
Very often you're working on too big a thing or the wrong thing.
And so trying to answer that one ultimate existential question, what is the meaning of my life?
What will I be able to say on my deathbed and be satisfied with?
