83. You Need a Manifesto: How to Communicate Your Convictions
In this episode, the d.school’s Charlotte Burgess-Auburn explains the power of crafting your own personal manifesto.
“If you're not living life according to your own values, you're most likely living them according to someone else's,” says Charlotte Burgess-Auburn.
Burgess-Auburn is a designer, artist, educator, and the Director of Community at the d.school. With her recently published guide, You Need A Manifesto: How To Craft Your Convictions And Put Them To Work, she aims to help people identify their core values and then codify them to chart a course of meaning and purpose.
“A manifesto is a statement of purpose and a script for action,” she says, “a compass [and] navigation tool to help you find your way.” As she and Matt Abrahams discuss on this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, a personal manifesto can help us communicate our deepest values — first to ourselves, and then to the world.
