Didn’t Like It

there were some useful concepts, but they could've been described in about 1/3 the book. The last few chapters were utterly useless fluff about what might happen with computers and robots. That belongs in a science fiction book, not a design psychology book

    A second book by Donald Norman further explaining his views on the design of every day things and how we emotionally relate to objects. Used this during my degree in Product Design for my dissertation essay and it was very handy.

    Facinating, I think every designer should read this. If not simply for the explanation of the 3 aspects of design.

    I found the core idea useful - that there are 3 levels at which design "works": visceral, behavioral and reflective. But beyond that, the author rambles and meanders through a variety of topics, including several chapters on robots and their need for emotions. Odd.

    Interesting about what makes as love or hate different products. I think it's really good and totally worth a read.
