I've been really enjoying this series on marketing. I hate to go off-topic, but does anyone recommend his book The Four Steps to the Epiphany?

I picked up a copy of his book on the recommendation of someone here at HN. Many of the stories on his blog are in the book also. It's definitely a worthwhile read, full of insights and examples, especially great for someone working with or creating a startup.

Yes. It helps if you are working for or plan to start a startup/early stage company. A lot, but not all, can be applied to a new product in an established company.
