Laws of UX
Jon Yablonski — 2020
Jon Yablonski’s Laws of UX acts as a bridge between psychology and design, explaining how human behavior fundamentally shapes our interaction with digital interfaces. By deconstructing fundamental heuristics—from Jakob’s Law to the Peak-End Rule—the book provides a practical toolkit for creating intuitive, human-centered products that work with our brains rather than against them. It is an essential guide for designers looking to move beyond "gut feeling" decisions toward evidence-based practice.

Notable Quotes
“The most elegant design can fail if it forces users to conform to the design instead of working within the 'blueprint' of how humans perceive and process the world around them.”
“Users spend most of their time on other sites, and they prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know.”
“The easier we make it for people to achieve their goals, the more likely they are to do so successfully.”
“When we opt for more complex solutions, we sidestep the need to understand the underlying problem. The more complexity and assumptions a solution has, the greater the chance of failure.”
