In "Mindful Design," Scott Riley embarks on an enlightening journey into the confluence of neuroscience and design, urging creators to foster harmonious designs that resonate deeply with human psychology. This compelling read does not merely skim the surface of aesthetic principles but delves into the intricacies of how our brains perceive, interact with, and integrate design into the fabric of daily life. Riley masterfully demystifies the neurological underpinnings that dictate our interactions with the digital world, making a persuasive case for designs that align with human needs and cognitive processes. Through a blend of theory and practical application, this book emerges as an indispensable guide for designers poised to craft more intuitive, engaging, and ultimately human-centric products. With a keen eye on the responsibility that comes with the power to shape human experiences, "Mindful Design" navigates through the complexities of visual perception, emotional resonance, and cognitive patterns, culminating in a rich exploration of interaction and interface design. Riley's narrative is punctuated with real-world examples that bring theoretical concepts to life, offering readers a clear pathway to implement mindful design principles in their own work. Whether you're a seasoned designer or a curious newcomer, this book promises to transform your approach to design, encouraging a deeper, more thoughtful engagement with the ways in which design touches every aspect of our lives.

Looks like a great book for product designers. Bookmarking for myself. - Ryan Hoover
Again, and plainly: attention is finite, limited, and valuable. As designers, I believe we must see ourselves as a kind of attentional economists, as ridiculous (and boring) as that sounds. While a deep and scientific knowledge of attentional models is not essential, an intuitive and empathetic approach to “cognition as a currency” can be hugely impactful.
— Scott Riley, Mindful Design
