Chasing Confidence-Transforming Ideas into Impact

About the Book

Chasing Confidence helps you make sense of the “why” behind building customer-centered products – what are the principles and patterns most product builders know to understand problems and needs and build solutions for people. The book will challenge you to apply what you’re learning through exercises at the end of each chapter. Although it will help you with “how-to-do’s,” it’s more focused on “how-to-be” so you can build confidence in yourself in building products at scale.
