The Design of Everyday Things is a best-selling book by cognitive scientist and usability engineer Donald Norman about how design serves as the communication between object and user, and how to optimize that conduit of communication in order to make the experience of using the object pleasurable. One of the main premises of the book is that although people are often keen to blame themselves when objects appear to malfunction, it is not the fault of the user but rather the lack of intuitive guidance that should be present in the design.
AMAZING.
I wish I had read it 10 years ago.
Anyway, lots of positive reinforcement about my current product design perspective, which I guess it's great (confirmation bias for the win!!)
Exciting and easy to read. All topics are explained in details except for the end of the book
