The Practice, from Blinkist, is a book that helps readers develop mastery in any field. Key learnings from this book are:
• Understanding the key techniques for discovering and mastering a craft,
• Knowing what is required to excel in an area,
• Knowing how to avoid common practice traps.
For UX Designers, The Practice provides tips on how to become an expert in the field and stay motivated by focusing on the process for continual improvement. As well as offering strategies for self-reflection and set backs, the book covers techniques for developing a deeper understanding of craft, and solving problems that come up along the way. Along with The Practice, UX designers would also benefit from reading books such as Lean UX by Jeff Gothelf and Creative Confidence by Tom and David Kelley.
