Description:
This memoir is an homage to the parents who taught the author the importance of living a life of decency, and to decency itself. He was a baby boomer, born in the Midwest to parents who met after the war. They were so poor they couldn't afford to rent a place with indoor plumbing. But whenever they confronted a problem, his parents simply said they would "figger it out." Although poor, he thought his family's life idyllic. Then, suddenly, his family moved to New York, and everything was different. Everything that had never mattered – what clothes you wear, where you live, what band you listened to, where you went on vacation – mattered a lot. His clothes were bought at the five and dime; he had never had a vacation. He struggled. He began shutting down. He became wary, guarded, apathetic about school, distrustful of authority. But he had something to fall back on: those values of decency and his willingness to "figger it out."
While he tried to "figger it out," he cut grass, worked in factories, went to Woodstock, and became the first person to be given conscientious objector status by his draft board. He became a hippie, but never dropped out. His best friend did drop out and disappeared, forever. He spent a night in a whore house in Texas and hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
Decades later, he found he had lived a life he could never have imagined. He had a wonderful wife, wonderful children, a wonderful house in a wonderful town. And it had indoor plumbing! He had worked in jobs that were consuming, challenging, and rewarding. He had tried murder cases and had spent years in the board room of what had become

Practical, Engaging, and Worth Every Penny
Format: Paperback
I’ve read a few Figma books, but this one stands out because of how engaging and hands-on it is. It’s written in a way that makes you feel like you’re learning from a mentor, not just reading a manual. The exercises are practical, and the step-by-step approach makes even complex concepts easy to grasp.
I also loved the section on integrating plugins and designing responsively for multiple devices—it’s these little details that make a big difference in real-world design work.

Really learn Figma!
Format: Paperback
I was transitioning from graphic design to UI/UX, and I needed something that would teach me Figma while helping me build a solid portfolio. This book did exactly that! The real-world projects and case studies were super helpful—I even used one of them as a portfolio piece during a job interview.
It’s not just about learning the tool; it’s about understanding how to design better user experiences. The productivity tips and shortcuts alone saved me so much time.
