Product Management

Top 5 reads which made the biggest impact:

1. Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Flow is the state in which you are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that you will do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it.

2. Essentialism by Greg McKeown

Using prioritisation and WIP limits to determine what you focus on – doing more with less, having the discipline and courage to tackle the hard but valuable problems to solve. Working smarter.

3. The Scout Mindset by Julia Galef

Putting biases aside to get to the truth, being curious and having the courage to surface the most important things to focus on.

4. Radical Candor by Kim Scott

Comprehensive overview of how you can give effective feedback by avoiding being too nice or brutally honest, and instead having the right balance of just being candid.

5. Product Direction by Nacho Bassino

A well-balanced, accurate, and modern data-driven approach to product strategy and roadmapping.

Thanks to all of the authors for sharing their wisdom and to my connections for sharing their book recommendations.

Hope everyone has a nice festive break and a great learning experience next year!
