Design For How People Learn by Julie Dirksen is a must read book not just for learning designers, but for anyone who has every tried to make their colleagues or friends learn something new. And doesn’t that describe most of us?

The book is packed with practical tips and vivid examples that can guide you towards better learning experiences regardless of your field of work. So, what are you still doing on this page? Go on, visit the book’s website, peek inside the free sample chapter, and buy this wonderful book! 

P.S.: I saw this book mentioned enthusiastically on various blogs, but I think I stumbled upon it first on Garr Reynolds’s 10 great books to help you think, create, & communicate better in 2012 list, so you might want to check that one out as well. 

The Lean Startup by Eric Ries is a business book that everyone should read. It’s not just for people running or working for startups, it’s practically for everyone who is striving to stay competitive or relevant in today’s fast changing world. It’s for big corporations, it’s for government agencies, it’s for freelancers, it’s for teachers, it’s for students. It’s a nice, easy read with tons of valuable lessons that will challenge the way you see the production of new things, from physical products to all sorts of services and even intangible knowledge. Highly recommended!
