Refreshing addition to my professional bookshelf -- there's an emphasis on honest business practices and improving the experience for both your customers and your employees. Recommend to product managers at any stage!

Unconventional yet practical wisdom. I have read a lot of "business" books but they tend to say the same things. After following Brian on LinkedIn for some time, I decided to buy his book. Not disappointed. He has a fresh approach. There are examples from other companies but also his own experiences. He shares how his company has become so successful and gives exercises at the end. We have an informal book club at work and I made this our next pick.

A lovable book! I follow Brian on LinkedIn and enjoyed his writing enough to pre-order. I'm glad I did. Receiving the copy early allowed me to consume this interesting and intelligent read over the weekend. Anyone looking to build a product (or a company) will appreciate the many take-aways from the book as they are, like Brian's postings, presented in a compelling and readable style. I look forward to purchasing copies for my clients, and to implementing the responsive method in my own business.

The concept of building a product that people love is not new, but the means by which to achieve that result is often evasive to Product Managers. Let's face it, it's not an easy task. Brian de Haaff has cracked the code and how to achieve these results and have shared it with all us Product Managers so we can all be successful at building lovable products. Thank you, Brian, for your dedication to helping us all build better products and for writing such an outstanding book.

I had a keen interest in checking out this book after having it recommended to me by some former product management colleagues. I'm so glad that I did as the book didn't disappoint. The book contained thought-provoking, refreshing, and non-mainstream insights for building both a great product and company. I think Brian may be on to something as far as pioneering a new model for the company of the future. Whether you are the entrepreneurial type looking to start your own business, an aspiring product manager, or a manager or executive as part of a much larger organization responsible for delivering products or services, there is something to be learned and gained in this book by everyone.

I've been following Brian's writings on Linkedin and blog.aha.io for a couple of years now. I have often referred back to his articles (and have sent them to colleagues) in matters of work ethics, managing people and product, and entrepreneurship. My prayers have been answered and all those insightful articles are now inside the pages of Lovability. The book is very easy to read and follow. If you're a CEO or a product manager, the book acts as a guide on the thinking and the process of taking an idea and bringing it to market. But beyond the process, there's also really practical advise on measuring and identifying your product's strengths and weaknesses. It successfully breaks down, to it's essence, what makes a great product lovable.

"Loveability" is not the typical concept for employee recruitment or management practice, so this was a refreshing concept in an crowded field of "texty" type books. I enjoyed Brian's firsthand experiences and references to other companies and businesses. I haven't read the blog posts other reviewers reference, but will check them out. Most people are employees for considerably longer than they are managers, if they ever attain a position of leadership, so it is pivotal to have business practices that care about how employees experience their working life. If a business wants to succeed, it needs motivated, enthusiastic, passionate employees. Productivity is driven by morale. The author captures this concept in his book. Great book for product managers and all professionals looking to advance in their field and grow their business. Bravo!

Lovability shares practical advice to guide you in your own journey towards building a lovable business of your own.

While I would agree with other reviewers that the concept is not new -- we all want to be loved -- I am astonished by how few people are willing to open up about it from a business perspective. For this simple fact, Lovability is a breath of fresh air. Such a simple concept that is so often ignored by businesses and product owners for the sake of growth, and other reasons.

Lovability shares with you -- the reader -- a proven approach (along with numerous stories, anecdotes, and examples) for setting yourself down the path that the team at Aha! has successfully navigated. Kudos for sharing the story!

The book is OK, but overly optimistic.

I personally haven't found anything new here, but it resonates of my vision of the world, thus stretched 4 stars.

It looks like only positive sides of the authors approach are enumerated, while all negative or problematic sides are carefully avoided or just briefly mentioned without much details. Usual for such books business examples carefully selected to form a right point of view, so I felt manipulated at times, despite the fact that the author is sincere.

The message is simple but profound with two parts:
First, work hard to build a business and product that customers are actually willing to pay for.

Second, work harder to deliver a complete product experience (CPE) that exceeds customer expectations.

This is what creates lovability and devoted customers who become your advocates.

Great advice for entrepreneurs, established businesses, really anyone who is passionately interested in creating a legacy of real value for others.
