Reviews

Good overall concept of design and honking

Read this book to help learn how to add design thinking to a computer science curriculum I am writing. The book gave me some new ideas for strategies to use in the various stages of mapping out our ideas. I skipped a lot of the art examples but walked away with some new ideas to use in my teaching.

If you have used design thinking, the book probably does not tell you anything new, however it’s a great reminder and summary of process and techniques.
I like how easy and well structured it was written. I especially liked the connections he and metaphors he drew to art.
Also book is filled with loads of good quotes so a whole lot of inspiration in there :)

Good Summary of Design Thinking

I like the way the book describe what’s important factor in each of the phase, and even more liking it with an example use case at the end of the book

[Pablo Calero]

Good quick start on Design Thinking

It needs real life/business examples to better explain how to use DT. And might talk about how to lead a DT process

[Juan Manuel Vera]

Very deep book about Design Thinking

This book provide many clear information about Design thinking and how to apply it real life.
I recommand you this book to every person who is beginning to study design thinking

[Aaron Bolin]

This book is the worst kind of shallow regurgitation of general material gathered via internet search engine. It is a pure waste of money; I did not learn anything and might have actually lost knowledge by wasting time with this book. Do not waste your money.

[David]

Quick overview with TONS of quotes. Inspiring, but lacks more depth. Also hard to read on Kindle do to many images.

[Audrey]

Clear, and concise. Just the book to kickstart improved creative thinking and process.

[Marcela]

Ok overview but I don’t trust a book that tells people to create personas first and then find users that represent the personas and start research. Parts about art history didn’t seem relevant.

[Teo]

It's a light read, with concise content and plenty of art references. So besides learning/remembering a few things about design thinking, you also get to have a nice recap of art history.

[William]

Good read!

Fully enjoyed this highly engaging book. I enjoyed the blending of artistic thinking in regards to applying it to helping us solve business problems.

[Monica]

This is a useful book—I’ll definitely use some things from it in teaching. I especially like “negative brainstorming.”

[Lannoy 29]

Great

A good guidebook for implementing a design thinking way of doing stuffs. The last part, as a study case, is a concrete example which is enlightening.

[Matt]

This book reads like an essay written by a high school student who needed to write a work that was 10 times longer than the amount of research they had gathered. It could easily have been summarized in a decent sized blog article, with the unnecessary art history and interesting quotes left on the cutting room floor. The author tricked me out of my $5. Don't let the same happen to you.
