Abstract | Life designing is a paradigm for the theory and practice of career construction in the 21st century and aims to assist people in generating personal meaningfulness about their work and actively sustaining their adaptations to societal and industrial change. It is regarded as part of the third wave, also referred to as narrative turn, within the field of career development. This chapter offers a selective summary of career construction theory's segments associated with the three waves and approaches to life-design counseling for career construction. It also grapples with a philosophical conundrum and limitations. Finally, the chapter speculates about future directions for life designing and its fitness for current social and economic challenges associated with sustaining employability in a world of work, and demographic reality that average lifespan now exceeds the parameters of career development theory pertaining to what workers are meant to do at the ostensible end of their careers. |
