The quote rings true for me, resonant with my own occasional surprise at the success of someone’s seemingly off-the-wall data visualization project. Fortunately for us battle-weary data practitioners, the notion of beginner’s mind can be applied to a day as well as a career. Desiree Abbott’s Everyday Data Visualization beckons even the thoroughly Tableau-tested and Power BI-ified among us back to the exhilarating feeling of beginner’s mind. Abbott’s book is an invitation to that openness, grounded in scientific rigor and leavened with genuine charm. Desiree Abbott’s Everyday Data Visualization is available from the publisher and other booksellers, including Amazon.
