Previous NextI have long been a practitioner and proponent of product discovery, and yet I learned a great deal from this book. It lays a good foundation for the approach, addresses some of discovery’s shortcomings I’ve experienced in the past, and gave me great new ideas to try in my projects, to boot. Above all, it made me excited about the power of discovery—I recommend Dan’s book without reservation.
