greenie996,
Great at concisely communicating the psychological principles and their corresponding applications in UX Design。 It's definitely something to keep as a reference and re-read every few years (or months, depending on how far along in your product development)。 A discussion on gestaltism would have been a pertinent inclusion for chapter 11's discussion on defaults, maybe warranting an entire section on its own in future editions。 Great at concisely communicating the psychological principles and their corresponding applications in UX Design。 It's definitely something to keep as a reference and re-read every few years (or months, depending on how far along in your product development)。 A discussion on gestaltism would have been a pertinent inclusion for chapter 11's discussion on defaults, maybe warranting an entire section on its own in future editions。 。。。more
Grace Milam,
Absolutely tore through this - a nice reference book especially for justifying design decisions to stakeholders without UX experience。 Loved the pictures 😍
Madi Fishtrom,
Love the Laws of UX website and appreciated the deep-dive this book takes into them。
Nadia Ab Latif,
I think it’s a very good read for aspiring and junior UX designers。 However it’s pretty surface level。 All in all a good read, learnt some good & important pointers I can apply for UX work。

Great stuff, very breezy, every-word-is-highlightable kinda dealio。 Could have had a pinch more depth。 I do love the way the book is designed to maximize and speed up the learning of its principles to the percentile increment of efficiency。 Now that's good UX。 Great stuff, very breezy, every-word-is-highlightable kinda dealio。 Could have had a pinch more depth。 I do love the way the book is designed to maximize and speed up the learning of its principles to the percentile increment of efficiency。 Now that's good UX。 。。。more

Excelente libro para la mejora de productos y servicios。 Siento que está enfocado en páginas web o programación, sin embargo, todo se puede usar para el ámbito en que uno se dedica y en el día a día。
Radu Anastase,
Good book for beginners。 Easy to read format with relevant examples。
Erik Packard,
Very foundational and essential for all UX practitioners。

Gianella,
Great and concise book。 It delivers what it promises。It’s not for you if you are starting in UX because it already touches subject and examples that are not for starters。 I do have to have to say it’s better in a physical o pdf copy, because of the examples。 For an audiobook is simple and understandable, the examples are explained but I think the experience is better if you read it。
cypher,
Overall, a very good book。“How do you validate initial designs without proof that there is need to change the existing designs to begin with?

bimri,
Yablonski did formulate such an intuitive work-of-design with this book。 It is perceptive with the things one knows subconsciously to do with design (at least to me); yet the format of presentation remains delightfully engaging。 I loved reading it。 It acts as my first foray into the world 🗺 of design。 🙌🏾
K。,
Concise and informative。
Shane,
A short and insightful read to simplified psychology heuristics relevant to UX design。
Quang Hung,
Good and essencial book for any ux designer
Bhanu,
Absolutely love this book。 I find myself coming back to this occasionally, referring it to chads I teach and I’m pretty sure I’ll read it a few times more。 Even has a website dude!
Nikolaos Kontis,
A book for every designer, all points are valid, true and it’s a perfect starting point for a common set of principles。 It is missing common patterns that don’t fall under certain laws and are a must

Joy,
Interesting info on applying psychological principles to UX design。 Very digestible, easy to get through with plenty of examples and images。 Easily applicable and will likely go back and reference from time to time。
Marina Matos,
é um livro bem introdutório para quem está estudando design, mas se encaixou no meu momento。 Dá exemplos e traz reflexões legais, só senti dificuldade de entender os processos que são abordados mais ao fim do livro, mas acho que a ideia é continuar estudando as rotinas do time em paralelo。
Rohan Felix,
This is a really good to consume as an audiobook。 The information is provided in a fuss-free way and the author doesn't take long to get to the point。 I recommend this book for anyone keen to get moving with their UX career, not merely as a designer but also as a writer or researcher。This was a good investment for me。 This is a really good to consume as an audiobook。 The information is provided in a fuss-free way and the author doesn't take long to get to the point。 I recommend this book for anyone keen to get moving with their UX career, not merely as a designer but also as a writer or researcher。This was a good investment for me。 。。。more
Fred Nors,
Who is this for:- great for anyone new to UX。- those in need of a shared language/argument for design decisions。Key takeaways:- designers have a lot to learn from psychology。- language/argument for design decisions。Impressions: - Well written and structured。 Best parts are when laws are demonstrated in UX techniques。 - Some laws are quickly understood and a long detailed elaboration of the law seems a bit redundant。
Jaime Santa Cruz,
Buen libro, un compendio bien ordenado y con ejemplos de buenas prácticas con una nota sobre la ética del diseño。Para tener de consulta。
Khoa Pham,
One of the best books I have been ever reading so far。 In addition, you don't have to be a UX/UI design expert to have a good grasp on all the knowledge covered by the book and will get insights into the well-explained intersection of human psychology and an appealing UX/UI。 Some of the reasons I highly recommend this book to you are listed below:1。 Well-organized content。2。 Many awesome psychology concepts。3。 Well-explicated interaction between human psychology and attractive user interface。4。 One of the best books I have been ever reading so far。 In addition, you don't have to be a UX/UI design expert to have a good grasp on all the knowledge covered by the book and will get insights into the well-explained intersection of human psychology and an appealing UX/UI。 Some of the reasons I highly recommend this book to you are listed below:1。 Well-organized content。2。 Many awesome psychology concepts。3。 Well-explicated interaction between human psychology and attractive user interface。4。 Some of means to render the activities on the browser more intuitive to user experience。Have a nice experience with this book ^。^ 。。。more

Some books don't need to be encyclopedic in order to get their point across - this is one of them。 You can read in under one hour, probably。 It is the most easily digestible, concise text on best practices for UI/UX design I've come across; as effective as good UX should be。 Unlike other books I've read, there are actual examples illustrating each of the principles。 Both good and bad。 Experienced designers will not learn much - though some would do well to try and re read it。。。It is perfect for Some books don't need to be encyclopedic in order to get their point across - this is one of them。 You can read in under one hour, probably。 It is the most easily digestible, concise text on best practices for UI/UX design I've come across; as effective as good UX should be。 Unlike other books I've read, there are actual examples illustrating each of the principles。 Both good and bad。 Experienced designers will not learn much - though some would do well to try and re read it。。。It is perfect for the budding designer or someone without formal training looking to color inside the lines。 Recommended。 。。。more
