Twenty Bits I Learned about Design, Business and Community
After retiring from co-founding, Dribbble, I reflected on 20 things I'd learned over the course of a decade designing and creating a community for creative folks. Twenty Bits I Learned About Design, Business & Community is fun little hardcover book that collects those thoughts along with some arguably-artistic doodles.
I like to think about this book as a "mini-memoir with mid-century aesthetics". Bring a copy on your next flight and gain some insights from a designer-turned-accidental-entrepreneur and the important lessons learned along the way. Easily digestible takeaways for designers, community builders, and creative business leaders.

Dan Cederholm's honest introspection regarding his life as a startup founder will help you get started on your own creative pursuits. Every once in a while I hold a book in my hand and feel the world open up in front of me. I can't define what that happened here, but it inspired me deeply. It's a tiny book that's worth every penny.

Basically: buy it, read it, keep it nearby. This will be a tiny book I'll come back to, time and again, for twenty bits of wisdom. There are only twenty bits, but they're the Important Bits.
