Evans co-created the Life Design approach with Bill Burnett after a career in engineering, design and education. Their shared work invites readers to replace prolonged private analysis with a series of questions, conversations and low-cost experiments.

That is a useful corrective for someone who mistakes a lack of certainty for a lack of permission to move. It should not become an ideology of constant optimisation: some choices need commitment, grief, care or collective change more than another prototype.

The useful contribution to Omzoe is procedural. A direction becomes clearer when a person notices what happens after a chosen, bounded action, rather than seeing every decision as a referendum on their worth.
