Click: How to Make What People Want
From the New York Times bestselling authors of Sprint, a guide for starting big projects the smart way--based on firsthand experience with more than three hundred new products and businesses. Every big project--whether it's creating new technology, developing a fresh line of sneakers, or opening a neighborhood caf --requires a major investment to get off the ground. Unfortunately, most big projects flop with customers. Too many teams waste time, money, and opportunity because they follow the wrong strategy and lose sight of what really matters: Do people want what you're making? Does your solution click with customers? Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky--two brilliant product designers who spent years at Google Ventures and elsewhere before founding a venture capital firm together--have helped hundreds of teams bring new products and services into the world.

Namnen
Kan ditt namn bestämma ditt öde? Vem skulle du vara om du fått ett annat namn?Året är 1987 och Coras man Gordon vill att de ska döpa sin nyfödde son efter honom, helt enligt familjetraditionen som han gärna vill upprätthålla. Men Cora är mer tveksam. Vad skulle det göra hennes son till för människa om han får sin pappas namn? Skulle han bli en annan person om han fick ett annat namn?Morgonen efter en storm går Cora för att registrera sonens namn och när Cora ställs inför beslutet tvekar hon. Att gå emot Gordons önskan kommer att få konsekvenser, men är det rätt att hennes son ska ärva ett namn med allt vad det innebär? Det val hon gör i det här ögonblicket kommer att forma deras liv.Sju år senare heter hennes son Bear, ett namn som hans storasyster valt och som kommer att visa sig vara lika katastrofalt som stormen det uppstod ur. Eller så heter han Julian, namnet som hans mor bestämde sig för, i tron att det skulle göra det möjligt för honom att bli sin egen. Eller så heter han trots allt Gordon, döpt och uppväxt som en avbild av sin far. Tre namn och tre helt olika versioner av ett liv.Namnen är en starkt gripande och hoppfull berättelse om tre namn, tre versioner av ett liv och de oändliga möjligheter som ett enda beslut kan ge upphov till. Namnen är en berättelse med ett Sliding Doors-liknande upplägg, om kärlekens oändliga förmåga oavsett vad ödet har i beredskap.Florence Knapp har tidigare skrivit en fackbok om en flera hundra år gammal metod för att tillverka lapptäcken, samt bidragit till en bok för Victoria & Albert Museum. Hon bor strax utanför London med sin man och deras hund. Deras två barn har nu lämnat boet. Namnen är Knapps debutroman och kommer att översättas till fler än tjugofem språk."Den bästa debutromanen på åratal!" Sunday Times"Kraftfull, rörande och vacker." Marian Keyes"Vackert skriven, intelligent och ömsint." Jojo Moyes"En originell och känslomässigt djup roman, och efter att jag läst klart kunde jag inte sluta tänka på den." The Observer"Gripande, tankeväckande och synnerligen trovärdig." The Times"Oväntat glädjefylld och med ett driv som en thriller. /.../ Knapp återger outtröttligt och vackert inte bara förlust och sorg, utan också återfödelse och glädje." The Washington Post"Enastående! En fantastisk, hoppfull och ljuvlig roman. Den är väldigt speciell. Läs den!" Chris Whitaker"Ett gediget romanbygge. (...) Levande, dynamiska personporträtt." Lisa Elina Lundström, BTJ-häftet
