I got this book from a colleague. It is an educational and fantastic book to help shape innovative products. I am a ux/ui designer myself, so this has been very useful for me. The great thing about this book is that real cases are being discussed. Deborah explains every design strategy very well, and how you can achieve it in your own product and design.
