My Favorite things about The Mom Test:
- very digestible, quick, easy read
- really practical tools and tips
- tons of real-world examples
- mind-opening (it's given me a whole new lens through which to understand what "success" really means in a customer meeting)
- I've already started using some of the tips and I'm genuinely excited to try more
My least favorite things about The Mom Test:
- very few (none?) mentions of women throughout the entire book except for his mom.
- as much as I loved the real world examples, or "if this/then that" scenarios I found myself skimming through them a couple of times to get to the next actionable item
All in all, I really enjoyed this book. I'd definitely recommend it to a friend or fellow indie hacker.
What about you all? Favorite and least favorite aspects of the book? Anyone already implementing The Mom Test?

Yeah, I loved that the book wasn't about lofty concepts and theories, it was a practical down-to-earth how-to.
Reading it now, great book. As far as I can tell, most mentions are generic refernces ('customers', 'users')..
