Why it matters

Just Enough Research belongs in Design Books because it makes research approachable by focusing on the smallest useful evidence that improves design judgment. It expands the list without duplicating the books already covering the same ground.

Best for

Best for researchers, product designers, and founders; UX designers, product teams, and engineers. The book is useful when you want reference material that improves judgment and gives teams more precise working language.

What you'll learn

You will come away with better questions, interviews, synthesis, and evidence; clearer interfaces and better diagnosis of friction. The value is practical: better critique, better choices, and better follow-through.
