Why do we feel that we can tackle the biggest challenges out in the world, but we often feel daunted or hard on ourselves when we face personal challenges? This course introduces the tools of design thinking and rapid release cycles from innovation companies (Google, Dropbox, IDEO) to apply to behavior change. We aim for students to come away with experience in design thinking, innovation, mindfulness, compassion, curiosity all embraced by top companies in the world that will help them at MIT and beyond where they continually face the question: "How do I design and live an intentional life? 

This is a condensed version of a full semester course offered Spring 2016 (EC.S04).  Students may take both the IAP and Spring versions. 

To register for one of the 20 slots, please email course instructor Jennifer Jin (jennycataj@alum.mit.edu) with your name, major, and year.
