Thorough and attractive book about User Experience design.

This book will most likely be interesting and useful for professional developers. Not as interesting or useful for website owners who are still trying to get to grips with WordPress block themes.

I did not even read the book, just flicked through it, but thought it was my duty as a lawful citizen to warn anyone who might even think about opening it.

Please do not for your own sake.

It is full of meaningless business buzzwords (that it ironically warns against), purely theoretical and overly simplified frameworks for running a project that would not even work for a 6th grade chemistry presentation, and even with concepts that might be vaguely interesting (eg lean methodology) it barely scratches any meaningful surface.

I am heavily contemplating donating to plant a tree just to repay the society for having a physical copy of this book in my flat.

Very good summary of several models of thinking about branding. It's a very actionable book, which I like to see.
