1. 1. The Savage God

   A Study of Suicide

   

   A blend of cultural history, literary criticism, and memoir, this study examines how societies have understood suicide from antiquity through the modern era. Interweaving analyses of writers and artists with firsthand experience—including a close view of Sylvia Plath’s final months and reflections on a personal attempt—it challenges romanticized narratives, probes moral and psychological dimensions, and considers the responsibilities of individuals, communities, and art in confronting self-destruction.

3. 3. Lean Customer Development

   Build Products Your Customers Will Buy

   

   A practical, hands-on guide to validating product ideas by systematically talking to customers and running small experiments before building, with concrete techniques for crafting hypotheses, recruiting and interviewing the right people, avoiding biased questions, and interpreting what customers actually need. It emphasizes rapid learning over premature features, provides scripts, templates and metrics for integrating customer discovery into iterative development, and shows how to reduce risk and align teams and stakeholders around evidence rather than opinion.
