Story
In Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots' one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a handing off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted, and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck? Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time.

Publisher's Summary
The Mom Test is a quick, practical guide that will save you time, money, and heartbreak.
They say you shouldn't ask your mom whether your business is a good idea, because she loves you and will lie to you. This is technically true, but it misses the point. You shouldn't ask anyone if your business is a good idea. It's a bad question, and everyone will lie to you at least a little. As a matter of fact, it's not their responsibility to tell you the truth. It's your responsibility to find it, and it's worth doing right.
Talking to customers is one of the foundational skills of both customer development and lean startup. We all know we're supposed to do it, but nobody seems willing to admit that it's easy to screw up and hard to do right. This book is going to show you how customer conversations go wrong, and how you can do better.

I wish I read this book a few years ago
This books made me cringe at least a dozens of times. Reading the book was like reading an autobiography. I have done many of the mistakes that the book mentions.
On the surface, it seems that it is about talking to customers and extracting insights that are credible. But once you dig deeper you realize the book is about strategy, validation, thinking clearly and creatively, ego traps, and how to not fall for false positives that can have detrimental effects on you and your startup.
It also provides many practical bits of advice and hacks to find customers and run the customer interview process. I truly wish I had read the book a few years ago.

Rob was super easy to listen to. As a first time entrepreneur, I laughed so many times, after hearing Rob explaining what types of questions I should NOT be asking. I.e. I have been asking all the compliment-seeking types, instead of ones which meet "the mom test". Cheers man

no BS
actionable plans to get through the fluff. sometimes it even seems too simple yet this is not an area that is often talked about in startups and that is probably why so many get it wrong.
