Why attractive things work better and other crucial insights into human-centered designEmotions are inseparable from how we humans think, choose, and act. In Emotional Design, cognitive scientist Don Norman shows how the principles of human psychology apply to the invention and design of new technologies and products. In The Design of Everyday Things, Norman made the definitive case for human-centered design, showing that good design demanded that the user's must take precedence over a designer's aesthetic if anything, from light switches to airplanes, was going to work as the user needed. In this book, he takes his thinking several steps farther, showing that successful design must incorporate not just what users need, but must address our minds by attending to our visceral reactions, to our behavioral choices, and to the stories we want the things in our lives to tell others about ourselves. Good human-centered design isn't just about making effective tools that are straightforward to use; it's about making affective tools that mesh well with our emotions and help us express our identities and support our social lives. From roller coasters to robots, sports cars to smart phones, attractive things work better. Whether designer or consumer, user or inventor, this book is the definitive guide to making Norman's insights work for you.

Amazing daily devotional.

The very best morning devotional book I have ever purchased. I have given several copies to friends and ordered the large print edition for myself as began on January 1. I read it complete in 2025 and started again this year.

Insightful and encouraging as well as biblical
I've been a Christian for over 40 years. This is hands down the best of ocean life ever read. I've read os won't chambers and Charles spurgeon. And they're great. But what I got from this devotional was a perspective that I had never seen before it challenged my thinking on Grace and Grace living. If anyone is struggling with performance anxiety or general OCD. Focusing on the grace of God can be a great help. Every devotion highlights our need and God's wonderful perfume provision of grace. I can't recommend this devotional enough. In fact it's one of my number one gifts for the people at church.

Worth every penny!!
Color: Black
This kitchen sink caddy was exactly what I wanted. It's well made and small enough to fit on my new sink. It holds soap, dish rag or small sponge, drain stopper, and my two scrub brushes. Looks good, too
