When an Arkansas honor student and class valedictorian disappears just weeks shy of high school graduation, an explanation alludes investigators.

This time I have something a little different

to recommend to you guys. It's not a true crime lesson, but I think you'll be able to relate to why

And in that vein, today I finish listening to Designing Your Life,

how to build a well-lived Joyful Life by Bill Burnett

and Dave Evans. It doesn't matter who you are, where you are, or how old you are. This book was

written by Stanford Professors and is designed to help you understand who you are and what you

truly enjoy so that you can design a life that's meaningful and enjoyable, whatever that means to you.

I bought this book on a whim

hoping it would give me new perspective. I love finding new ways to look at things, and it really

delivered. I even ended up buying a copy for a friend. So if your obsession with true crime has left

you acutely aware that your life is slipping away by the moment like sand through an hourglass,

don't lapse into an

existential crisis. Instead, check out designing your life, because while we may not be able to

control how long our time here is, we have a lot of control over how meaningful and joyful it is,

and that's what really counts. To get a free copy of an audiobook of your choice, like designing your life,
