191						<h2>Why Design Is Hard</h2>
192						<div class='mailmunch-forms-before-post' style='display: none !important;'></div>
193<p>The sequel to How Design Makes The World, written for designers. It teaches designers how to reframe their biggest frustrations working in organizations into solvable problems. Designers want to believe their ideas will be adored and they will influence big decisions, yet most of the time others make the decisions designers wish were theirs to make. With humor, insight, and practical advice on the common and most difficult situations designers face, this book will help you create a fulfilling and healthy design career. </p>

196						<p>“I just finished—and recommend— Berkun’s latest book, “Why Design is Hard.” the real struggle, the daily grind, is not so much about the work but about contexts, constraints, and personalities that make designers question their very existence. Scott’s book is concise, breezy, yet filled with excellent strategies for succeeding when the world—or, at least, your organization—is tilted against you.” Michael McWatters, Vice President, Product Design for Max / HBO Max</p>
197<p>“I don’t know how they authors fit so much into a 100-page essay: power dynamics, office politics, game theory, the psychology of persuasion, masking, organizational inertia, emotional intelligence, and so much more.. its about reaching a fulfilling career by focusing on ways to increase your power, influence, and/or self-awareness.” – Ben Rush, Creative Director</p>
198<p>“A refreshingly honest take on why design work often feels like an uphill battle. The authors nail the real challenges designers face: organizational politics, limited resources, and the challenge of turning good ideas into meaningful impact… grab this book.” Adam Michalski, Product Designer</p>

224						<h2>How Design Makes The World</h2>
225						<div class='mailmunch-forms-before-post' style='display: none !important;'></div>
226<p>Everything we use, from our homes to our smartphones, from highways to hammers, was designed by someone. How did they decide what was good for the rest of us? What did they get right and where have they let us down? And what can we learn from the way these experts think that can help us make decisions in our own lives?</p>
227<p><strong>This book teaches everyone:</strong></p>
228<ul>
229<li>What good design is and why it’s so important</li>
230<li>How our lives are defined by designs, good and bad, made by others</li>
231<li>How to ask better questions of everything we buy, use and make</li>
232</ul>
233<p><strong>And it gives designers and makers:</strong></p>
234<ul>
235<li>A fun and fast way to explain what we do to coworkers and friends</li>
236<li>A tool for making organizations more design mature</li>
237<li>Stories to use to be a better ambassador for good design</li>

241						<p><strong>Early praise and reviews:</strong></p>
242<p>“This fascinating book will help you see design everywhere and question why it works—or why it fails” – <strong>Ellen Lupton</strong>, curator of contemporary design at Cooper-Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum</p>
243<p>“An invaluable, essential resource that demystifies and democratizes design for everyone who lives with it—which is to say, all of us.” – <strong>Khoi Vinh</strong>, Principal Designer at Adobe and Former Design Director of The New York Times</p>
244<p>“Design does indeed make the world, and Scott Berkun has written a highly readable book about this fact.” – <strong>Henry Petroski</strong>, author of <em>Small Things Considered: Why There Is No Perfect Design</em></p>
245<p>“Nobody’s better at explaining how the world really works than Scott Berkun.” – <strong>Jeffrey Zeldman</strong>, co-founder of A List Apart</p>

312						<h2>The Ghost of My Father</h2>
313						<div class='mailmunch-forms-before-post' style='display: none !important;'></div>
314<blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8220;A sobering, lucid memoir about the uncanny, precarious nature of family, masculinity and childhood.&#8221; Kirkus Reviews</strong></em></p></blockquote>
315<p>From bestselling author Scott Berkun comes this powerful story about family, identity and self-discovery. A captivating and honest exploration of who we are, and how we must choose our own way forward in life no matter what happens to us. Berkun&#8217;s relationship with his father defined him, until he chose to try and define himself.</p>
316<p>With thoughtful stories that explore the meaning of Darth Vader, the mysteries of Frankenstein and the lyrics of Bruce Springsteen, Berkun combines themes from his own life with famous films and legends, to help readers ask universal questions about the first adults we know in our lives.</p>
317<p>Read the <a href="https://scottberkun.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/TheGhostOfMyFather-Excerpt.pdf">FREE chapter here</a>.</p>

320						<p>“Ghost of My Father is a poignant example of the value of positive role models. ” – Amy Mack, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound</p>
321<p style="color: #292827">“Not only captivating, but also insightful… digs deep into many themes; family dynamics, forgiveness, grace, legacy, hope…” – Jen Moff</p>
322<p>“Thought-provoking read, and highly recommended…” – Thomas Duff</p>
323<p>“When I finished it, I felt more human and less alone.” – Heather Bussing</p>
324<p>“Finished in one intense sitting. Intensely personal &amp; gripping” &#8211; Michael van Lohuizen</p>
325<p>&#8220;The author’s prose style is compelling, due in part to his interest in classical mythology and modern popular culture&#8230; Berkun’s memoir is ideally suited to an audience that’s similarly concerned with the challenges of adulthood and parenthood in the 21st century.&#8221; &#8211; Kirkus Reviews</p>
