The Art of Product Development →
If you’re a frustrated user, it’s likely that the marketer/presenter/doctor has made a mistake and either split the difference in how much information and power was conveyed or missed the mark entirely in one direction or the other.

Three Masters by Seth Godin →
I want to have one of each master. Separate channels, of course. Call me greedy, but that’s how I roll.
