Why Another Book on Product Management? Most product content is contextual. It cannot be applied, or we forget it soon. I wanted something timeless. Profound but simple concepts emerged when I studied the patterns of adoption across this huge timeline.

Like very good for persernal

I'm always game to learn from the greats, including @rrhoover @nireyal @hnshah

Idam Dukkham (This is Pain) How does one conflate the spiritual, psychological, and political teachings of Buddha with product adoption strategies from one of the most exploitative person in human history? Indeed this represents Dunning-Kruger, but I also genuinely feel disappointed in your approach to philosophy and product development as it emulates oppression and propagates itself as liberation. As an ordained minister and well versed in Buddhist principle teachings, rethink this approach knowing that it engages in False Generosity and reinforces exploitation of humanity. For your own pathway towards liberation, please read Paulo Freire's "Pedagogy of the Oppressed".

@ravi_bajnath As an ordained minister, your knowledge surpasses mine by miles, undoubtedly. The basics greatness and oppression lie in the same human emotions. The book is about the underlying emotions and showcases how something great can be created on top of it. It is by no means a comparison.

@kush_apoorva Sometimes you need to get punched in the stomach hard enough to throw up all of the B.S. you've consumed. Once you're able to see it clearly, floating in the toilet, flush it down and work towards helping the poor and oppressed. Everything else is to exploit human emotions for personal gain, consciously or unconsciously. (Smoke some kush if you have it).

Thanks, @pollock for hunting. Hey Product Hunters, I am quite excited and pretty nervous to launch my first book. It explores the greatest fear all makers have: "Will people love what I am making?" And then there are some makers, whose products are hyper-adopted, repeatedly. The question is, do the greatest creators think in a pattern? And are there underlying principles that are timeless, and can be learned by the rest of us? My answer, of course, is yes. [Otherwise, it would be a spectacularly lousy book ;-)] The book covers product creation lessons from The Buddha, Jeff Bezos, Christopher Columbus, Sherlock Holmes, Rene Descartes, and more.

It also covers the journeys of some of the recent great products like Segment, ProductHunt (🤟), Google, Facebook, Youtube, and Evernote. Finally, I touch upon the popular frameworks and books like Hooked, Jobs to be Done, Innovator's Dilemma, BJ Figg Model, and many more.

I have tried to make this a fun read while tackling the profound topic of making great things.

Instead, I am a mute observer, standing outside the "innovation zones". But I am taking notes, and drawing inferences for 2400 years ;-) And getting fascinated to see how timeless the Laws of Making are. Would love to answer any questions, critique, and feedback. Cheers :-)
