What's your favorite PM book? Why is it great?
I was recently interviewed for a podcast and asked about my favorite book. I talked about Hooked and how it's great because it talks about how products can be habit-forming based on their utility rather than just by being addictive. Would love to learn about other interesting product observations you've come across in books :)
Mareike·Oct 20, 2019Mareike·Oct 20, 2019Escaping the Build Trap by Melissa Perri! I love it because it opened my eyes not only about how a team should be organized but how the structure of the company is essential for a successful product. š
It's not technically about product, but I loved The Power of Habit, by Charles Duhigg . Very good insights on why we do things and how we can change habits and behaviors. I haven't read Hooked yet, but there might be some overlap in the content :)
