Episode notes

If you could recommend one book to our listeners, and Jessica, you can recommend more than one. What would it be and why? Yeah, so again, it's hard to pick one because there are so many good ones. But I've been thinking recently, maybe about writing a blog post,. Like either underrated UX books or lesser known UX books.

Jessica Ivins schools us on the critical value of a growth mindset in UX Design. She teaches us how to learn how to learn. She enlightens us as to why it’s always better to generalize before specializing. She reminds us introverts that we can only truly succeed by extroverting. She also reveals how the best tool recommendations can only come when it’s clear what one is trying to learn.
