Abstract:

Life Design got a lot of attention as a tool for self-development and life planning. The courses or workshops are guided by the design thinking process and supported by positive psychology interventions. The design thinking approach is mostly used for its process which guides the structure of the course and its tools which are used throughout the course. However, not enough attention is paid to the design thinking mindset. This article discusses first ideas on how far the design thinking mindset can be taken over from the traditional approach to life design. Nine mindset attributes are examined on their adaptability to life design. This is done by using an example of a life design course taught at the Technical University of Berlin. The article proposes several possible future research directions.
