Book Summaries

Books have become underestimated in this "era of the Tweet," but I think they are fundamental to approach a subject in a full and 360 degrees way, without forgetting important details. Books, however, are also long to read. When I study a book, I almost always take notes to store the information better. Here is a list of books I've read and summarized.

• Mapping the User Experience by James Kalbach
• Information Architecture Essentials by Jorge Arango
• Lean Customer Development by Cindy Alvarez
• Hooked by Nir Eyal
• Essential Scrum: A Practical Guide to the Most Popular Agile Process by Kenneth S. Rubin Summary
• Traction by Gabriel Weinberg and Justin Mares
• Influence Marketing by Danny Brown and Sam Fiorella
