Mayer revealed her favorite book as“The Design of Everyday Things” (2002) by Donald Norman. She said:
她透露她最喜欢的书是由唐纳德·诺曼撰写的《设计心理学》。
“I think a lot about design and products and how things should work. But it makes you notice things that can be infuriating. Like, why does my sandwich shop have meat all the way over there?At the same time, it makes you think about design in new ways, because when you use something everyday it needs to be absolutely efficient and not get in your way. It's cool to be able to articulate and discuss that on a level that is really accessible and interesting.”
“关于设计、产品和工作原理,我思考了很多。但这本书会让你留意到能让你抓狂的事物。比如说,为什么我的三明治店里的肉总要从那里采购?此外,它会让你产生考虑设计的新思路,因为你每天都要使用,所以它绝对是高效又不碍事的。能在可行又有趣的层面上清晰地表达和讨论,这感觉很棒。”
