To be a better contributor on the team, we can recognise, diagnose, and deal with the conflicts and situations that we can experience on our daily work life. We are talking about designer's mindset, dogmatism, getting to No, and how to convert an unhealthy conflict into a healthy one.

Reviewing "Ruined by Design" by Mike Monteiro

We are not naive enough that Silicon Valley is going to make the world a better place, actually it turned out the opposite, designers ruined the world. We made people addictive and depressed for fundings and stock prices, and design education and hiring don't help. How can we fix the situation if it's not too late?
