This is a book I would recommend to anyone designing products. It is full of lessons of how products interact with the user, and how this interaction can be improved. Because the book is old, it goes to the basics, and you won't find specifics of new equipment

The way Norman writes is easy to read and understand. He uses many examples to better illustrate his points. Ever gone to use an everyday object and wondered why it is so frustrating when it should be simple to use? A phone, alarm clock, even just a door. If these things are designed without considering what the user will best understand, then any good operations they perform are outweighed by the time and frustration it takes to use them. The principles in this book should be incorporated into our world more often. Anyone who needs to design anything a person has to interact with Should READ THIS BOOK!
A true classic, this book will expose flaws and stress points in the way things are put together and train you to think in terms of good designz

This is a good read. It really makes you think differently about the products around you, and gets you to question how well designed the things are that you use in your everyday lives.
