Minimum Lovable Product: How to Find Love Using Product Management Tools
Love isn't a fairytale—it's a product launch. That's the hilarious and surprisingly practical philosophy of Nadya Sellam's book, Minimum Lovable Product
Sellam, a product manager, argues that finding "the one" is just like creating a successful app. You need to define the problem you're solving (do you want a fling or a marriage?), understand your "Ideal Customer Profile" (your dream partner), and then, most importantly, define your own "product".
The book provides a humorous framework for your love
Create a "Value Filter": Forget dating every random person on an app. Define what’s a must-have and what’s a nice-to-have, just like a product manager prioritizing features
Get "User Feedback": Go on dates to see if your ideas for a healthy relationship align with theirs. This isn't about getting judged; it's about seeing if you're compatible.
Don't "Adjust" Your Don't pretend to be a "geek" or hate shrimp just to impress someone. Be your true self and let them "take it or leave it".
Pivot if If your dating strategy isn't working, maybe your "target audience" is wrong. Perhaps you should move to a new country like the author did.
By treating your love life like a product, you can avoid wasting time and heartache on relationships that don’t work. It’s all about finding a partner who shares your values, and building a team you can rely on.
