Mayer revealed her favorite book as“The Design of Everyday Things” (2002) by Donald Norman. She said:
她透露她最喜歡的書是由唐納德·諾曼撰寫的《設計心理學》。
“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.”
“關于設計、產品和工作原理,我思考了很多。但這本書會讓你留意到能讓你抓狂的事物。比如說,為什么我的三明治店里的肉總要從那里采購?此外,它會讓你產生考慮設計的新思路,因為你每天都要使用,所以它絕對是高效又不礙事的。能在可行又有趣的層面上清晰地表達和討論,這感覺很棒。”
