"The Design of Everyday Things" is a bestselling book by cognitive scientist and designer Donald Norman that explores the ways in which everyday objects and technologies are designed and how their design can be improved. The book argues that many of these objects and technologies are poorly designed and difficult to use, leading to frustration and errors on the part of users. Norman examines a variety of design principles and concepts, including user-centered design, affordances, signifiers, and feedback. He also explores the psychology of human perception and cognition and how designers can use this knowledge to create better products. Ultimately, the book offers practical advice for designers and consumers alike on how to improve the usability and effectiveness of everyday technologies and objects.
