by Sherry A. Rogers, M.D., ABEM, ABFP, FACN, FACAAI
A wealth of research findings which support the author's thesis: "Your body was designed to heal and be pain free. . . only when there is a persistent trigger (that the body is reacting to and cannot conquer) does it continue to produce inflammation and pain . . . All pain has a cause, and once you know the cause you have the cure. . . [For some] the solution is eliminating a food, correcting a nutrient deficiency, or killing hidden infections. For others it has required getting rid of a lifetime's accumulation of everyday toxic chemicals."

by Donald A. Norman
The author, a retired professor of cognitive science, is bothered to no end by the fact that grappling with unfriendly objects now takes up so many of our hours. Over the course of several books, of which this was the first, he has railed against bad design. He scrutinizes a range of artifacts. A well-designed object, he argues, is self-explanatory, but our present culture places a higher value on aesthetics than utility and many designers don't seem to consider what people actually do with things. You don't need to be especially interested in technological matters to enjoy Norman's arguments. The book's underlying question is aimed at a global audience: will the design of everyday things improve?
