Entrepreneurial Life Design: A New Paradigm for Personal and Professional Growth
Edited by Bettina Maisch, Stefan Schulte-Holthaus, Karina Zittel and Barbara Wolf, this interdisciplinary volume introduces Entrepreneurial Life Design (ELD) as a framework for navigating personal and professional transitions in an era of uncertainty. Bringing together entrepreneurship education, human-centered design and career development, the book combines theoretical foundations, empirical insights and practical tools to foster purpose, resilience and adaptability.
Contributions from researchers and practitioners explore applications in educational, organizational and societal contexts, including case studies and program models. The volume offers valuable perspectives for educators, coaches, researchers and professionals interested in shaping meaningful and sustainable personal and professional futures.
