The Psychology of Everyday Things

By Donald A. Norman

This episode delves into Donald Norman's seminal work, 'The Psychology of Everyday Things,' dissecting the invisible design principles that govern our interactions with objects. We explore why common frustrations are often design failures, not personal shortcomings, and how understanding concepts like affordances, mapping, and mental models can empower a more intuitive world.
