Norman introduces the concept of Human-centered design, which means exactly what it sounds like: we should design for people and their needs first. Chapter 1: The Psychopathology of Everyday things Summary I would recommend this book to anyone who is unfamiliar with tech companies/Silicon Valley and wants to better understand how people here think, or anyone who wants a refresher on the ideas underpinning design thinking and user-centered design. However, I don’t doubt the strong influence this book has had on the way we build products today.ĭespite lots of the concepts feeling familiar, reading The Design of Everyday Things was still interesting because the book gives a formal language and structure around design thinking. How much of that is exactly due to Don Norman and this book I don’t know. Many of the insights and thinking frameworks in this book are (at least nowadays) very baked into how we think and talk about building and designing products. If you’ve lived in the Bay Area and/or have worked at a tech company for long enough, then I suspect none of the concepts in The Design of Everyday Things will feel very new.
He breaks down common design mistakes and gives readers a framework for user-centered design. In The Design of Everyday Things, Don Norman makes a case for Human Centered Design and describes how designers should think about users and their problems.
