Downloading the Kindle samples for these now!

Do you have a favorite out of the 3?

Thanks for the recommendations!

I think The Mom Test stands out as a favorite just because it really made me realize I had no idea what I was doing.

Making Users Awesome guided me towards the mindset shift needed to build product better, and Deploy Empathy gave me the exact questions to ask in customer interviews when I was stuck.
