Alan Cooper, Ancestry Thinker, Software Alchemist, Regenerative Rancher, Author of The Inmates Are Running the Asylum: Why High Tech Products Drive Us Crazy and How to Restore the Sanity
The main objective of What UX is Really About: Introducing a Mindset for Great Experiences is to provide a quick introduction to user experience (UX 101) for students, professionals, or simply curious readers who want to understand this trendy yet commonly misunderstood practice better. Readers will learn that UX is much more than a set of techniques, guidelines, and tools. It is a mindset; a philosophy that takes the perspective of the humans that will use a product. It is about solving their problems, offering them a pleasurable experience, and building a win-win, long-lasting relationship between them and the company developing the product. Above all, it is about improving people's lives with technology. What UX is Really About is informative, concise, and provides readers with a high-level overview of the science, design, and methodologies of UX.
KEY FEATURES:
- The most approachable and concise introduction book about UX.
- Easy to read and aims to popularize the UX mindset while debunking its main misconceptions.
- Small format size makes it easy to carry around.
- Includes content relatable and meaningful to the readers by taking many examples from everyday life with a conversational and light writing style.
- Tackles the psychology, design, research, process, strategy, and ethics behind offering the best experience with products, systems, or services.
- Includes a glossary.
