It's a fantastic book with soft reading and light humor. You can enjoy a design process backstage while deconstructing your life as a project - what it can bring interesting insights and outputs! I have a physical version to keep myself redoing sometimes as a creative exercise (and different life moments) as well I usually lend it to many different people who is looking for creative ways to rethink their lifes!

Excellent visual instructional that keeps you involved each step of the way through short exercises that encourage you to view your life from various lenses. As someone who works best visually, this was a great book that helped me gain some interesting new perspectives.
