This podcast episode explores how to overcome feeling stuck in life using the "design thinking" approach from Silicon Valley. The episode features interviews with Dave Evans, who teaches a course on designing one's life, and Christine Metzger, who applied design thinking to her career challenges. Evans explains the difference between "tame" and "wicked" problems, advocating for iterative experimentation ("wayfinding") rather than searching for a single "perfect" life path. Metzger shares her experience using "Odyssey Planning" to generate multiple potential life scenarios, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling path. The podcast concludes by suggesting that embracing experimentation and iterative learning, similar to how tech companies develop products, can help individuals overcome feelings of being stuck and design a more satisfying life.
