From the author:

"Does a psychologist design products and services? How interesting..."

When I introduce myself as a psychologist designing products and services, I often see surprise on the interlocutor's face: "What, isn’t this work for a designer? Yeah, you surely know how to get into the consumer’s head! Are you analyzing me right now? No comments!" People are often intrigued, but do not understand how knowledge of cognitive processes and emotions can be applied to the design of digital products and services. And this is a common occurrence.

The purpose of this book is to help you understand and use knowledge about human psychology to break down user experience into components and find out how to make a product perfect for the consumer. And now is the perfect time for this. Scientific research in the field of cognitive psychology is rapidly advancing: there are already known breakthroughs in psychology, neurobiology, behavioral economics, and human-machine interaction, which have provided us with new data on brain functions and information processing processes that shape user experience.
